Sterlent Credit Union falls to mortgage crisis
Sterlent Credit Union, a 13,000-member state-chartered credit union based in Pleasanton, will be liquidated.
Sterlent is the second East Bay credit union to fail in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis. The liquidation comes just weeks after Patelco Credit Union of San Francisco absorbed the troubled Cal State 9 credit union.
The California Department of Financial Institutions and the National Credit Union Administration ordered the liquidation. The NCUA will act as the liquidating institution. The NCUA entered into an agreement with Patelco to sell certain assets and liabilities of Sterlent to Patelco.
