Osaic, Inc., has announced that Blaze Credit Union has joined its Osaic Institutions channel.
Blaze was formed in 2024 through the merger of Spire Credit Union, which had an existing relationship with Osaic, and Hiway Credit Union. The combined entity has subsequently chosen to partner with Osaic.
Blaze aims to enhance members’ financial well-being through personalized service, competitive solutions and its commitment to local communities. The firm is one of Minnesota’s largest credit unions with 28 branch locations serving nearly 250,000 members.
“Blaze was founded to serve our members with compassion, integrity and a commitment to their financial well-being,” said Jim Ganger, senior vice president and chief experience officer at Blaze Credit Union. “As such, we wanted a partner who truly values personal service and meaningful, lasting relationships. We believe that Osaic’s strong technology, service commitment and advisor-first culture make them the right long-term choice for our team and the members we are privileged to serve.”
Blaze Retirement and Investment Services has eight advisors who deliver personalized, comprehensive financial guidance with support from Osaic.
“Spire Credit Union and its wealth management team have been valued partners of Osaic for many years,” said Stephen Amarante, executive vice president of Osaic Institutions. “We’re pleased to continue this partnership with the newly formed Blaze Credit Union, supporting their commitment to empowering members with thoughtful, personalized wealth management and retirement planning built on trust and collaboration.”
