ANN ARBOR, Mich. — University Bancorp, Inc. said its banking subsidiary, University Bank, will increase its ownership stake in Credit Union Trust to nearly 50% through a $3.75 million share purchase scheduled to close at the end of the year.

The Ann Arbor–based holding company said in a press release that University Bank will acquire an additional 37.4999% of Credit Union Trust effective Dec. 31, 2025, raising its total ownership to 49.9999%.
