Vizo Financial Recaps Successful Year of Credit Union Education in 2025

Greensboro, N.C. (January 28, 2026) – Vizo Financial Corporate Credit Union continued to prioritize credit union education in 2025. A record number of events held, heightened attendance and the completion of the Corporate’s first year offering education rewards led to a very successful year.

Over the course of 2025, Vizo Financial held 70 educational experiences, including webinars, workshops, conferences and other events. From those events, with more than 3,600 credit union staff attending, the Corporate awarded 89 continuing professional education (CPE) credits.

“As an organization that directly supports the success of credit unions, education is at the very core of what we do because it ensures that institutions across the movement are knowledgeable about what’s happening in our industry and prepared for what’s to come,” said Jaime Agostino, Vizo Financial’s VP of sales, marketing and education. “From webinars and on-demand recordings to workshops and conferences, we offer a myriad of opportunities for credit unions to enhance their understanding of payments, financial strategies, risk management and other important areas to empower their organizations and look ahead to the future.”

The Corporate also launched its Education Rewards Program. Through the program, attendees could earn points on an individual and credit union level for every conference, workshop and CPE-qualifying webinar they attended. For individual rewards, those with the most points received Vizo Financial swag items, including Yeti tumblers, duffel bags, Bluetooth speakers, socks and more. The top five individual earners for 2025 were:

1. Cindy Amour, Riverfront FCU

2. Megan Deluca, Corner Post FCU

3. Jeanne Dotson, Henrico FCU

4. Dani Wickett, Mountain Laurel FCU

5. Shannon Ballenger, Penn State FCU

In addition, individual attendees also earned points for their credit union as a whole. The top earning credit unions would then have the chance to win free registration for a certain number of staff members to attend their choice of one of the Corporate’s 2026 workshops or conferences, depending on their ranking. For the top five credit unions, free registrations would be extended to four individuals from the credit union, and for those in places six through ten, free registrations would be granted to two individuals. The top ten education rewards credit unions for 2025 were:

1. Mercer County Community FCU

2. Hershey FCU

3. Mountain Laurel FCU

4. Corner Post FCU

5. Penn State FCU

6. Mountain CU

7. Heritage Valley FCU

8. Corry FCU

9. Henrico FCU

10. Riverfront FCU

“We place a lot of importance on education here at the Corporate and we believe credit unions should do the same, so we launched our Education Rewards Program in 2025 to help credit union staff find even more value in the investment of their educational journey,” said Agostino. “It was an incredibly positive first year from our point of view, and we hope that credit unions continue to take advantage of our educational opportunities to expand their knowledge and their rewards in 2026.”

Vizo Financial hosts multiple webinars each month and several major events throughout the year, including the Financial Strategies Workshops, Risk Management Conference, Small Credit Union Workshop, Financial Conference and Payments Conference.
