Omaha’s First Veridian Credit Union Branch Opens, Second Set for Spring

Veridian Credit Union (veridiancu.org) opened its first Omaha branch on Dec. 26, 2016 at the intersection of West Maple Road and 150th Street. The Waterloo, Iowa-based credit union is set to open its second Omaha-area branch at 10324 S. 71st Terrace in Papillion in spring 2017.

“We’re excited to expand in the Omaha area,” said Branch Manager Drew Mickle. “We have a great team, and we’re looking forward to deepening our relationships with existing members, as well as creating new ones.”

The 5,104-square-foot branch on West Maple Road is Veridian’s first outside of Iowa. It’s also the same blueprint for the branch that’s under construction in Papillion. Both include a family-sized office to accommodate members with children during longer visits, space for mortgage and commercial lenders, and biometric access to safe deposit boxes with a scan of the hand.

Veridian’s Market President Jay Ferris confirmed that the new branches are in line with the credit union’s plans to open 10 Omaha-area branches in the next 10 to 15 years. “We’re a not-for-profit financial cooperative owned by our members,” Ferris said. “With each branch that opens, we’re eager to show more Omaha-area residents and businesses what a difference that can make for their financial wellness.”

Veridian Credit Union is a member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperative founded in 1934 in Waterloo, Iowa as John Deere Employees Credit Union. Earnings are returned to members through great rates, higher dividends, better services and low-to-no fees. The credit union offers a full range of business and consumer financial services, including accounts, loans, guidance, investments and insurance. Membership is open to anyone living or working in the credit union’s 70-county field of membership, including Council Bluffs, Omaha and surrounding communities.
