Vancity

Member Profile

Vancity is Canada's largest credit union. Formed in 1946 today we have $14.1 billion in assets, more than 400,000 members and 59 branches throughout Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Victoria. Vancity and its subsidiary companies are guided by a commitment to corporate social responsibility, and to improve the quality of life in the communities where we live and work.

Beyond a bank, beyond a credit union

As Vancity enters its sixth decade — having already established itself as a remarkably successful business — it finds itself in an interesting and surprisingly joyful position. Vancity is within a category of its own creation — as one of a kind, as a unique entity that is beyond a bank, and beyond a credit union.

We see ourselves as having one hand in the soil and one hand on the stars. We’re rooted and reaching. It’s a concept that unites our history (rooted) with our future (reaching) into a succinct statement of who we are: both secure, grounded and networked as well as aspirational, visionary and thriving.

What we believe

We believe in the essential goodness of people.
We believe that dreamers are as unique as their dreams.
We believe that to rise higher, you must dig deeper.
We believe that balance in all things is the true measure of prosperity.
Wherever you are,
Whatever it is,
We believe you can.

Things grow here

When ‘who we are’ meets ‘what we believe’, things grow here. It’s the result when a rooted and reaching organization believes that all things are possible. And it is the central purpose across all our departments, branches and levels. To grow things — people, ideas, hope, finances, neighbourhoods and, of course, the dreams of our members.
