With deep ties to the credit union movement, Velera is proud to support our credit unions and their communities.
As both a credit-union owned cooperative and an integrated financial technology solutions provider, Velera is committed to protecting the interests of credit union issuers. We continue to provide the support, advocacy and tools for our credit unions to engage on these important initiatives, and we will continue to monitor developments and keep our industry informed of how we can use our collective voice to challenge potentially harmful legislation.
Velera continues to work with our industry partners, including Visa, the Electronic Payments Coalition (EPC), America’s Credit Unions and others to help our credit unions navigate potential legislation, educate their members and engage with policymakers
Velera has a proud, productive history of support for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. In partnership with credit unions and leagues nationwide, Velera supports a multitude of events throughout the year, benefitting both CMN Hospitals and CU4Kids.
Miracle Momentum Awards: Velera is proud to sponsor the Miracle Momentum Awards, in which credit unions throughout the country can nominate their local Children’s Miracle Network hospital to receive a $10,000 donation in the name of the nominating credit union(s).
The Cherry Blossom Run: Velera has served as a lead sponsor of the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run for more than 20 years.
In The Cellar: In 2024, Velera served as a presenting sponsor of the second annual In The Cellar event, which raised more than $1.1 million for CMN Hospitals.
Velera believes that financial wellness starts with our own employees, and one of the ways we provide financial support when employees need it most is by partnering with the Community Impact Fund. The Community Impact Fund is a 501(c)(3) organization that partners with credit unions and other financial institutions to provide anonymous, zero-interest loans to employees. By offering 0% interest loans, the fund helps employees manage cash flow needs and emergency expenses while building their savings.
In July 2024, Velera launched a credit union-focused partnership with 3DE by Junior Achievement, an innovative model for public education focused on reengineering high school to provide economic opportunity for all students. 3DE by Junior Achievement is an immersive public high school model serving over 15,000 students across 60 schools in 32 districts and 13 states. 3DE makes learning relevant by connecting education to real-world concepts, drives engagement through business connectivity, and enhances student retention with opportunities to apply academic knowledge.
