Addition Financial is growing to better serve you!

We’re happy to announce our plan to merge Envision CU into Addition Financial.

Two Credit Unions with a Shared History and Vision

I am excited to share with you great news about significant growth planned for your credit union. The Board of Directors of Addition Financial and Envision Credit Union have approved a merger to unite the strengths of two leading Florida credit unions. Under the proposed merger, Addition Financial will significantly expand its service territory and increase the credit union’s financial strength so that we may better serve you and our local communities. Envision CU will merge into our credit union which means that once the process is completed in late 2025, their current membership will be served under the Addition Financial brand.

Who is Envision CU?

We share a similar history and philosophy with Envision CU. They were originally founded in 1954 as a financial cooperative serving public educators in Leon County, Florida. Headquartered in Tallahassee, Envision currently serves over 63,000 members, across 19 counties in Florida and Georgia. I am pleased to say that all the employees of Envision CU, who will join the Addition Financial family, are just as passionate as we are about delivering exceptional member service and investing in the financial well-being of community residents.

What Will Be the Benefits for Addition Financial Members?

  • Through this merger, we’ll extend our branch service territory with locations in North Florida and South Georgia.
  • With our combined strength and expertise, we will be able to expand the scope and reach of our financial education programs benefiting both our membership and service communities.
  • We will expand our philanthropic capability through joined scholarship and community giving programs designed to make a difference in the lives of local youth and support organizations.

Once the merger is complete, Addition Financial will hold nearly $4 billion in assets and serve more than 248,000 members across 38 branches in two states.

What Happens Next?

I am proud to announce that for the second straight year, Newsweek has recognized Addition Financial as one of America’s Best Regional Credit Unions.

With this merger I truly believe that we will be adding strength and capability to your credit union, building a brighter tomorrow for our membership and helping our local communities thrive. It is an exciting time, and I thank you for being a valued member of Addition Financial.
