Partners Credit Union

Just noticed that Vista Federal Credit Union is now Partners.
When did this happen and why the merger?

Also if someone is employed there can they transfer into position at WDW since its owned by Disney?

It was a few weeks ago they merged.

About the second part of your question you might have to call and ask.

Nope. They cannot transfer. Partners/Vista is an odd one, you get full Disney benefits, you work for the company, but they have their own HR and are considered another company for transfer purposes.

Actually that's only partially true. While Partners (and the former Vista) is legally a separate company due to some federal regulations around banking, Cast Members transfer back and forth between the credit union and other Disney business units all the time. It is true that credit union Cast Members are employees of Disney are receive the full Disney benefits.

As far as the merger goes, it was finalized in November of last year. Up until then there were two separate credit unions, one for Disneyland and another for WDW and Burbank. Actually technically there is still a third, as ABC has their own credit union.

What kind of benefits do Partners Credit Union employees get these days? Do they get cruise benefits too?
