Credit unions are profitable, but not profit-driven. Members benefit from profit-sharing, no fees or low fees, and competitive rates. Credit unions are good for Alberta. They have over $20 billion in assets, employ 3,580 full-time Albertans, and contribute significantly to the local economy each year.

owned by people like you

Credit unions are financial co-operatives. This means that every credit union customer is also a member and an owner. In Alberta, credit unions serve more than 648,000 members and professionally manage over $20 billion in member assets.

Everyone is welcome, and it's easy to join. You'll become a member as soon as you open your first account.

More than 648,000 members? That's 1 in 6 Albertans!

focused on people

Credit unions work for you, not for corporate investors or institutional shareholders. Our goal is to help you succeed by offering sound financial advice and highly competitive services.

And when we succeed, every member benefits. After expenses are paid and reserves set aside, surplus earnings are returned to members in the form of profit sharing. In recent years, Alberta credit unions have returned an average of $65 million in annual dividends to members.

$65 million is a lot of money in members' pockets.
