"About The Veridian Group
The Veridian Group is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Veridian Credit Union, based in Waterloo, Iowa. As a credit union service organization (CUSO), The Veridian Group is committed to providing valuable financial services to credit unions and credit union members."
The distinction between a "credit union" and a CUSO matters. If the credit union is extending its charter to cover Dwolla, Inc., then that makes a big difference in terms of regulatory implications. As far as I can tell, The Veridian Group, Inc. (which does not have a charter) has invested in Dwolla, Inc., and Veridian Credit Union (which does have a charter) owns The Veridian Group, Inc.
