Vancity

Vancity is a values-based financial co-operative serving the needs of its more than 523,000 member-owners and their communities in the Coast Salish and Kwakwaka'wakw territories, with 59 branches in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Victoria, Squamish and Alert Bay. With $25.6 billion in assets plus assets under administration, Vancity is Canada’s largest community credit union. Vancity uses its assets to help improve the financial well-being of its members while at the same time helping to develop healthy communities that are socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. As a financial co-operative, we exist for the sole benefit of our members and their communities. We offer excellent service, financial advice and competitive products and services to help you build your own wealth. Then we use your deposits to lend and invest in local business and organizations that create positive economic, social and environmental impact in your community. This results in benefits like jobs created or supported, greenhouse gas emissions saved, and increased home ownership. Next we share a percentage of our net profits with our members and the community. We are a Living Wage Employer, which means that our minimum hourly wage reflects what people need to support their families based on the actual costs of living in their community. We are also a member of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values, a network of the world’s leading sustainable banks sharing the commitment to achieving triple-bottom-line impact through responsible banking practices.
