Exciting times are on the horizon for Blue Federal Credit Union and Aventa Credit Union members. In a landmark decision, both institutions have proudly announced their intent to merge. We are excited about expanding our footprint and welcoming Aventa Credit Union into the Blue family. This merger is not merely a business decision; it's an alliance of mutual values, dedication, and a deep-rooted commitment to member service.
