Vista Federal Credit Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vista Federal Credit Union is a non profit financial cooperative, organized to exclusively serve employees of The Walt Disney Company. As with most Credit unions, Vista is owned and democratically controlled by its members, providing a safe and affordable place for any financial transactions.
[edit] History
Vista FCU was founded in 1960 in Burbank, California, where it was operated out of a trailer on the Disney Studio Lot. In 1971, Disney asked if Vista wanted to expand their operation to serve Cast Members of the new Walt Disney World Resort opening up in Orlando later that year. Vista FCU accepted and set up shop in Florida to become the main employee financial provider.
In January 2007, Vista announced that it intends to merge with Partners Federal Credit Union, which primarily serves Walt Disney Company Cast Members of The Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.
