VISIONBank Client Communication 

 

October 9, 2024

 

We wanted to share some exciting news about the future of VISIONBank!  As part of our commitment to running a progressive and strong organization, we have strategically considered the future to ensure continued success for our clients, shareholders, and Team members. For the past 21 years, we have built an organization dedicated to providing exceptional personal service and 24/7 availability, along with the best products and services. After careful consideration, we have chosen to partner with Bravera Bank and will be merging our respective holding companies, pending regulatory approval. Bravera Bank shares our community banking roots and values, making them an ideal partner.

 

Continued Service and New Opportunities:

We will continue to operate as VISIONBank, offering our existing products and services with an anticipated merge in October 2025. After the merger, you can expect the same personalized service from the same Team, along with new opportunities for growth and support.

 

What to Expect After the Proposed Merge:

• Seamless Transition: All existing accounts will be smoothly transferred to Bravera.
• Updated Account Information: Your account details, including debit cards and checks, will be updated.
• Enhanced Access: Enjoy improved online and mobile banking experiences with Bravera.
• Rebranding: Pending regulatory approval, all VISIONBank locations will rebrand as Bravera in 2025, adding to their current 32 locations in ND, MN, and MT.

 

Enhanced Financial Services:

Together, VISIONBank and Bravera Bank will combine our resources, expertise, and innovative solutions to provide you with an even broader range of financial products and services, including:

• Greater Capacity: We will better handle your growth needs with conventional banking products.
• Additional Services: Enhanced cash management services and technological improvements for a better user experience.
• Comprehensive Solutions: Expanded offerings in wealth management, trust services, and insurance.

 

We want to thank you for your role as a client in contributing to the growth and success of VISIONBank. While our name may change in the future, the same level of service you are accustomed to will NOT. Our strategic decision to complete this merger solidifies the future for our clients and Team members, as we believe the additional resources and services will enable us to compete effectively with any size financial institution. Our present Team will stay in place, and we will continue to be there to serve you. We sincerely thank you for the confidence you have shown in us and for the relationship and friendship we have shared over the years. We look forward to assisting you through this transition and continuing to be your trusted bankers in the future…
