“It is an honor to take over as president and CEO of Liberty Bay Credit Union,” Matteson said in a statement. “Ed Lopes created a solid foundation and I look forward to building on Liberty Bay’s track record of success. Delivering sophisticated, but easy to use technologies increasingly supported by financial education as well as a introducing a variety of exciting new initiatives are my top priorities.”
