Advia Credit Union celebrated a major milestone at the end of April with a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Kenosha branch, marking an important step in the credit union’s continued growth across southeast Wisconsin. The new location is expected to open in late 2026 and reflects Advia’s long‑term commitment to investing in communities where members live, work, and do business.
Kenosha represents a natural next step for Advia’s mission to bring people‑first financial services to a growing community with strong economic momentum. In addition to serving individuals and families, Advia has built meaningful relationships with local auto dealerships, helping members finance vehicles while supporting trusted business partners throughout the region.
“Our growth into Kenosha is about more than opening a new branch; it’s about building relationships,” said Jeff Bolser, Chief Retail Officer of Advia Credit Union. “We see Kenosha as a vibrant, growing community and we’re excited to provide financial advantages that support local families, businesses, and nonprofit organizations.”
As part of the groundbreaking celebration, Advia made a donation to Habitat for Humanity of Kenosha and Racine Counties, honoring the organization’s impact on affordable housing and community stability. The contribution reflects Advia’s shared commitment to strengthening neighborhoods and helping people achieve long‑term financial and homeownership goals.
The Kenosha branch will be constructed in partnership with La Macchia Group, a design build firm with extensive experience in the financial institution industry.
“La Macchia Group is proud to partner with Advia Credit Union to design and build an exciting new branch in Kenosha. We’re honored to bring their vision to life, creating a space that reflects both their brand and their commitment to serving members,” says Ben La Macchia, Senior Vice President of La Macchia Group.
Once open, the Kenosha branch will further support Advia’s expanded field of membership across 11 counties in southeast Wisconsin, while complementing the credit union’s broader footprint across Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Members will continue to benefit from local service paired with nationwide access to shared branching and more than 35,000 fee‑free ATMs through the CO‑OP and Alliance One networks.
Through partnerships, volunteerism, sponsorships, and nonprofit support, Advia remains committed to advancing lives and strengthening the communities it serves. The Kenosha groundbreaking represents both a celebration and a promise to grow thoughtfully, invest locally, and put people first.
