How do we get started?
We want to ensure that are ready to set up your account when you visit the branch, so it is best to reach out to us and book an appointment in advance. We will need you to bring along required identification and SIN numbers for both parent, guardian and youth. Please contact us directly for identification requirements for the youth as they do vary based on their age and what documents you may have available.
A parent or guardian must be a joint account holder for youth under 12. Authorization/Indemnity Agreement or joint account ownership with parent or guardian is required for any youth from 12 -15. Identification requirements must be met.
Members over the age of 21 require 5 shares at $5.00 each ($25.00) and member underage of 21 require 1 share ($5.00).
Financial Learning
One of the core philosophies of the credit union movement is people helping people. We demonstrate this philosophy most often through our products, services, and commitment to financial education. We provide free financial education tools and calculators, which include a series of videos that cover key financial concepts such as saving, investing, credit scores, credit building, debt consolidation, and more! Be sure to check out our Junior Series.
