Merger Creates a Stronger, More Connected Partner Driving Innovation for Credit Unions.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.: Share One and VisiFI, both providers of core and digital banking solutions under Dedagroup North America, today announced they will unite under a single new brand: Deda Sphere. The merger, unanimously approved by both companies’ boards, took effect October 1, 2025.

The new identity reflects the companies’ shared history and vision. Deda Sphere combines decades of expertise from both VisiFI and Share One with cutting-edge digital transformation capabilities to empower credit unions and deliver exceptional member experiences.

Dedagroup became the majority shareholder of Share One in spring 2024, building on its long-standing relationship with VisiFI to accelerate innovation and growth across the U.S. credit union market.

“By combining the strengths of Share One and VisiFI, we are creating something greater than the sum of its parts,” said Marco Podini, CEO and Executive President of Dedagroup. “Deda Sphere represents our deep dedication to the U.S. market, investing in people, technology, and partnerships that empower credit unions to thrive. Through the Deda ecosystem, we can harness global expertise and drive digital transformation to deliver meaningful innovation, proven growth, and lasting impact. Together, we’re stronger, more connected, and better positioned to help our clients succeed, so they can better serve their communities.”

Deda Sphere will be led by Marcello De Angelis, who has served as CEO of Share One since Dedagroup’s majority investment in 2024 and will now step into the role of President and CEO of Deda Sphere, ensuring continuity and a strong foundation for the new company.

“We know credit unions face increasing demands around technology, compliance, and operations,” said De Angelis. “With our CUSO heritage, Deda Sphere is building a customer-focused business that manages those complexities — freeing credit unions to concentrate on their members, their communities, and their growth.”

Deda Sphere’s clear focus is on building the best end-to-end platform, starting with strong, modern core banking systems and digital-first solutions featuring a portfolio of digital solutions, services and the capabilities of experienced teams. It will also leverage on the integration and modularity with best-in-class technologies provided by the broader Dedagroup’s offering.

All products, services and customer relationships will be continuing uninterrupted.

The updated branding reflecting Deda Sphere’s new identity is available at www.dedasphere.com and will culminate in its flagship event Dedapulse – Accelerate Your Business that will take place in Dallas Oct. 27-29.

With this merger, Dedagroup reinforces its international strategy and expands its presence in the U.S. market. As part of a global technology innovator accelerating digital transformation across industries, Deda Sphere will serve as a catalyst for innovation and growth in the credit union space, supported by Dedagroup’s cross-industry expertise in AI, cloud, and cybersecurity.
