Vancity

Vancity is one of Canada’s largest credit unions, with $17.1 billion in assets, more than 492,000 members and 57 branches throughout Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Victoria and Squamish. As a financial institution, how we invest and operate affects your community's well-being. It's a responsibility that we take seriously. That's why our values-based banking model is grounded in the local economy—because we believe you only truly prosper when you're connected to a vibrant, healthy community. 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.
