Bravera Bank is proud to announce that VISIONBank, which operates three branches in Fargo, N.D., will merge into one charter and begin using the Bravera name on Oct. 6, 2025. VISIONBank, known for its strong local presence and commitment to customer service, was acquired by Bravera Holdings Corp. in March 2025. 

“This is an exciting move forward,” said Dan Carey, former president and CEO of VISIONBank. “Becoming Bravera means a greater depth of resources and convenience for our customers, with a continuation of the personal and friendly customer service they’ve come to expect from us.” 

“This is a wonderful opportunity to expand our presence in the Fargo region and provide more locations for our current customers, as well as enhance the experience of VISIONBank’s customers,” said Dave Ehlis, Bravera president and CEO.

VISIONBank’s same local, friendly staff will remain available to assist customers throughout the transition and help connect them with Bravera’s banking tools and services.

“We are eager to begin operating as Bravera and offer more convenience to our current customers, who will be able to use any of Bravera’s 36 locations in the upper midwest,” said David Johnson, Fargo market president. 

Bravera will maintain the high level of service that VISIONBank’s customers have come to expect throughout the transition.
