The merger between Marlborough-based Digital Federal Credit Union and California-based First Tech Federal Credit Union will go into effect on Jan. 1, after First Tech members voted to approve the two firms combining their efforts. The merger will see the two entities combined in January, although both will continue to operate as independent divisions in 2026. DCU President and CEO Shruti Miyashiro will lead the newly-combined entity, according to a First Tech press release issued Tuesday.

The newly-combined entity will use First Tech’s current headquarters in San Jose, according to a meeting notice sent to First Tech members in October.
