Together for good.

A Message from Seth Schaefer, President & CEO of Rivermark

I have an exciting update to share with our members. We have now received state and federal regulatory approval to pursue a merger with Advantis Credit Union.

This is another exciting milestone in our journey to join forces to do more good − for our members and our community.

Our Board of Directors (comprised entirely of Rivermark members) have voted unanimously in favor of putting this merger forward. The merger also has the support of our leadership and our employees.

We will keep you informed with further updates after the required vote by the Advantis membership. No action is required from you at this time.

Reminder: Members will see no changes until late 2024 or early 2025.

Lastly, but most importantly, I want to thank you for your membership and convey that we don’t take the decision to pursue a merger lightly.

I have deep respect for Advantis Credit Union and the substantial impact they bring to those they serve. Just like Rivermark, they are a local, member-owned cooperative with a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and together we want to become the leader in providing financial wellness to our members and community. In short, we’re joining forces to do more good.
