The Caisses populaires acadiennes forge partnership with Vitalité Health Network

The Caisses populaires acadiennes are pleased to announce an agreement to serve as Vitalité Health Network’s financial institution for business operations.

The announcement was made today by Camille H. Thériault, President and CEO of Mouvement des caisses populaires acadiennes, and Rino Volpé, President and CEO of Vitalité Health Network.

“The development of structures like our Financial Business Centre demonstrates that there is a real synergy between our different teams. We have clearly become much more competitive in business development, and are increasingly sought out for new partnerships. We would like to thank Mr. Volpé and his team for choosing us to be the network’s financial institution,” said the Mouvement president and CEO Camille H. Thériault.

Under the new partnership the Caisses populaires acadiennes will manage Vitalité Health Network’s business account in an effort to provide better service and terms. And the Caisses’ network of ATMs will grow as well: there is already an ATM at Bathurst’s Chaleur Regional Hospital, and new ones will be added at Vitalité medical facilities in Campbellton and Moncton.

“This new partnership is going to be great for Vitalité Health Network on several levels,” noted Vitalité president and CEO Rino Volpé. “We’ll be able to centralize all our financial operations with one institution. And the partnership also goes to show that right here in New Brunswick we have everything we need—top-level expertise in forward-looking, dynamic local institutions—to support our efforts, meet our collective needs, and excel in today’s competitive environment”.

The Caisses populaires acadiennes serves over 13,000 business members. We are a partner of choice for New Brunswick entrepreneurs in need of financing of up to $5 million, and our total business loan portfolio alone is over $1.2 billion. Vitalité Health Network is a second major new business partnership in a matter of months for the Caisses populaires acadiennes, after the October 2013 partnership with Université de Moncton.
