Vancity

Overview

Vancity is a Canadian financial co-operative and credit union based in Vancouver, founded in 1946 by residents seeking to provide accessible financial services to underserved communities. As Canada’s largest community credit union by assets, it operates over 50 branches across British Columbia’s Lower Mainland and the Victoria region of Vancouver Island. As a member-owned institution, those who bank here are also its owners, with a focus on benefiting members and their communities.

This credit union offers a wide array of financial services, including personal and business banking, mortgages, loans, credit cards, investments, and insurance products. Known for innovation, it’s credited with several “firsts” in Canadian finance—such as daily interest savings and the launch of the first socially responsible mutual fund. Deeply committed to social and environmental responsibility, it reinvests a significant portion of its profits into local initiatives and sustainability projects.
