“Envision Financial”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union, is based in British Columbia, Canada. Founded in 1946, Envision Financial was established in 2001 through a merger between Lower Mainland-based Delta Credit Union, whose roots were in the fishing industry, and Fraser Valley-based First Heritage Savings Credit Union, which had historic ties to the farming and agriculture industries. First Heritage Savings Credit Union was the product of a merger between East Chilliwack Credit Union and Clearbrook District Mennonite Savings Credit Union in 1983.^[1] It is insured by the Credit Union Deposit Insurance Corporation of British Columbia.

In 2008, Envision Financial entered into discussions with Penticton-based Valley First Credit Union to merge with one another and develop a new financial services organization for Western Canada. In September 2009, members at both credit unions voted in favour of the merger proposal, and on Jan. 1, 2010, Envision Financial and Valley First merged to become First West Credit Union. In 2013, Enderby & District Credit Union joined First West Credit Union, followed by Island Savings Credit Union in 2015.

First West Credit Union's members have access to 53 branches and 38 insurance offices throughout B.C. The credit union has $10 billion in assets under management, more than 1,700 employees and approximately 247,000 members. First West is the third-largest credit union in B.C. and the fifth-largest in Canada.[2] Valley First, Enderby & District Financial, Envision Financial, and Island Savings operate as divisions of First West, retaining their existing brand names in their respective markets.
