Vancity Credit Union

About

Vancity was founded in 1946 by fourteen motivated change-makers who felt underserved by traditional banks that wouldn’t lend East of Cambie. So they formed our credit union, a place where the people who bank here, also own the place.

As a financial co-operative, we exist for the sole benefit of our members and their communities and, as a result, we act in their best interest. This often means taking risks and breaking norms. Our founding members pushed the envelope of what was common practice among credit unions at the time.
