Victory Community Credit Union members unanimously approved a special resolution on Saturday, December 2, 2017 that will see the organization join Luminus Financial on December 29, 2017.

“We couldn’t be happier to see that our members are as excited about this partnership as we are,” said Carlo Polidoro, board chair of Victory. “I want to express my deepest appreciation to our members for seeing the future potential of Victory Community Credit Union and supporting a partnership that will allow us to grow and serve you better.”
