Envista Federal Credit Union announced a new business partnership with Wakarusa Valley Credit Union (WVCU), effective Tuesday, October 1, 2024. This strategic collaboration marks a significant milestone for both organizations and their members.
Envista Federal Credit Union, a trusted financial institution serving Kansans since 1957, is committed to helping members achieve their financial goals. With a focus on providing security, competitive rates, and exceptional service, Envista prides itself on prioritizing members’ needs above all else.
“We are excited to welcome Wakarusa Valley members to Envista,” said Ron Smeltzer, president and CEO of Envista. “This partnership is not just about expanding our reach, but about enhancing the banking experience for all our members, ensuring they receive access to the products, services, and delivery systems they deserve."
As part of this new chapter, Denise Bonner, the esteemed Manager of WVCU, will be joining the Envista team. Denise will operate from the Wakarusa branch, playing a crucial role in ensuring a smooth transition for approximately 500 WVCU members.

I’m excited for the opportunity to continue serving these members in a new capacity.”
