Celebrating 80 Years!
In an era marked by rapid change and an evolving financial landscape, VantageOne Credit Union proudly commemorates its 80th anniversary as a committed champion of community-centric, member-focused financial services. Since 1944, VantageOne has steadfastly served our communities with a commitment to financial empowerment, member support, and community enrichment.
“It’s an honour and a privilege to reflect on this incredible journey, from our humble beginnings back in 1944 to the thriving institution we are today competing in growing markets,” said Glenn Benischek, CEO of VantageOne Credit Union.
“Eighty years ago, a small group of visionaries came together with a shared dream: to create a financial cooperative that would serve the needs of our community and the returning veterans from World War II. Our founders believed in the power of people helping people, neighbours helping neighbours, and it’s that spirit of cooperation and mutual support that has guided us ever since.”
Over the decades, VantageOne has grown and evolved, adapting to the changing needs of our members and the broader financial landscape. We’ve weathered economic storms, embraced new technologies, and expanded our services – all while staying true to our core values of trust, integrity, and member-focused service.
“As we celebrate this milestone, it’s important to acknowledge the contributions of the many individuals who have shaped our credit union over the years. From our dedicated staff, past and present, to our committed board members, the local business community and our loyal members – each of you has played a vital role in our success.” added Mr. Benischek.
“Thank you for placing your trust in us. Your loyalty and support have been the driving force behind our growth and success. We are honored to serve you, and we remain committed to being our members’ financial neighbour.”
