Advia Credit Unions mission is to provide financial advantages. We look to proactively seek the quickest and easiest solutions available for members to maximize the financial value provided to them. Our name means something – we provide advice, we are member advocates, and we offer advantages. We do this via innovative financial solutions. Advia Credit Union became official on January 1, 2014, but our story began long before that. Advia Credit Union is the result of a powerful partnership between two very healthy and thriving credit unions - formerly First Community Federal Credit Union (originated in 1938) and E & A Credit Union (originated in 1935). Headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan, our 28 full-service branch locations and over 35,000 CO-OP and Alliance One fee-free ATM & Video Teller Machines keep growing. Advia offers easy-access financial solutions to to anyone who resides, works, worships, or attends school within the lower peninsula of Michigan as well as a growing number of counties in Wisconsin (Dane, Green, Jefferson, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Racine, Rock, Walworth, and Waukesha) and Illinois (Boone, Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Winnebago). Our credit union is chartered by the state of Michigan. Living to Advia Credit Unions core values has helped to position us within the top 3% of credit unions nationally in terms of financial soundness and asset size. Now serving over 200,000 members with assets over $2 Billion, we are poised to bring even better advantages to our communities and members. Experience the advantage via innovative financial solutions. Advia is an Equal Opportunity Lender. Federally Insured by NCUA. Core Values: Act with Integrity - Drive Progress - Build & Strengthen Relationships - Keep People at the Core
In 1995, after 35 years in the wholesale building material distribution business, Jerry Merrill founded All American Building Products. His primary goal was to service professional contractors with vinyl siding and windows. Jerrys vision was to be the preferred vendor by providing his customers with superior products, service and wisdom. Mr. Merrill considered it a high compliment when his customers referred to him as "their distributor." In 2000, with the assistance of Kirk Van Vleet, Jerry expanded by opening an office in Tulsa. This opening gave All American full coverage of Oklahoma. Mr. Van Vleet then opened a third location in Fort Smith, Arkansas, in the fall of 2007. Today, it is still our desire to continue with Jerrys vision and to be "Your Distributor." "It is our mission to be your preferred vendor by providing our customers with superior products, service, and wisdom. It is our highest compliment to be called your distributor."
