Member Co-ops & Supporters

Ladysmith & District Credit Union has been serving our community since 1944, developing strong relationships while being a fiscally sound shoulder that businesses and families have been able to lean on. LDCU is where member service is more than a motto; it’s part of our name.

Constantly striving to improve our services to members, LDCU has recently introduced many new and innovative financial products. The most recent is MATCHplus, a rate-matching product for local investment, loans and mortgages with free bonus incentives. ~ read more
