Vision Credit Union breaking ground on new head office in downtown Camrose

Vision Credit Union is breaking ground on a new head office, as the organization grows to serve the needs of its membership.

The new 20,000 sq. ft. two-story building is designed to house their Corporate Head Office, not a new branch location. The building will feature collaborative workspaces, private offices, a Board room, and a state-of-the-art training room. Importantly, located in downtown Camrose with potential for future expansions if needed. The new space will also eliminate the need for Vision to rent, resulting in future cost savings.

The $10-million-dollar building will take 12-18 months to complete, with an estimated move-in date in 2026. This building will meet or exceed all environmental and efficiency standards. Align Builders, a local Camrose general contractor will be constructing the building, employing local contractors. Five Star Home Solutions are the project managers. Vision Credit Union continues to work within and support the communities it serves. This expansion to the credit union’s growing infrastructure helps keep local decision-making, local. 

“This new administration building will help us grow well into the future and give admin staff a healthy working environment to thrive in,” said CEO Steve Friend. “We look forward to construction beginning soon, and completion in 2026.”



Over the past decade, Vision has merged with three credit unions—Caisse Horizon, Pincher Creek Credit Union, and Encompass Credit Union—while also acquiring the Wetaskiwin branch. These mergers have introduced additional administrative needs to support the growth of the organization, which is now the second-largest credit union in Alberta, with $2.5B in assets and 24 branches across 23 communities.
