Neenah credit union changes name to Linden Credit Union

NEENAH – Badger Globe Credit Union has changed its name to Linden Credit Union as the Neenah-based financial cooperative serves a broader membership across seven Wisconsin counties. The change follows a 2025 expansion that made anyone who lives, works or attends school in Calumet, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Outagamie, Waupaca, Waushara or Winnebago County eligible to join, according to a community announcement. The credit union traces its history to 1947, when nine Badger Globe mill workers pooled $9 to create a financial cooperative for employees and their families. Its former name reflected the group the credit union was established to serve. As eligibility expanded beyond those roots, the Badger Globe name no longer clearly described who could become a member, according to the announcement. “Badger Globe will always be an important part of our story,” said Annie Hutter, president and CEO of Linden Credit Union. “But as our credit union has grown, we needed a name that made it clear more people could belong here. Linden allows us to welcome new members and communities while holding onto what has mattered from the beginning: people helping people.” Why the credit union chose Linden The name is inspired by the American
