**August 7th, 2025 - **

South Burlington, VT –  Vermont Federal Credit Union (VFCU) is proud to announce it has been selected as one of the recipients of the 2025 MeridianLink Arc Award, recognizing its innovative use of the MeridianLink One platform to drive impact, efficiency, and strengthened member service across Vermont.

"This recognition underscores the bold steps we’ve taken to transform the way we serve our members”, said Sarah Marshall, Vice President of Consumer Lending. “This is more than technology, it’s about delivering real financial impact, with Vermonters at the center of it all.”

Now in its third year, the MeridianLink Arc Award celebrates financial institutions that harness technology with purpose—transforming lending processes, optimizing operations, and creating meaningful outcomes for their communities. Vermont Federal joins a distinguished group of ten winners, including Bangor Savings Bank, Empower Federal Credit Union, and Greater Iowa Credit Union.

Vermont Federal Credit Union has leveraged MeridianLink to streamline processing, reduce application time, and enhance the overall member experience.

**About the MeridianLink Arc Award**  
The Arc Award highlights financial institutions using MeridianLink solutions to overcome business challenges, accelerate growth, and support financial wellness in their communities. Winners were selected from nearly 70 nominations for ingenuity and member-focused impact.
