We are real, but we are a credit union. It’s just like a bank, only you have more say in how we're run.
Thousands of Canadians have an Innovation No-Fee Bank Account with us. We have been around for over 60 years. Many happy members think of us as a best kept banking secret.
Credit unions are not-for-profits financial institutions created to serve members. We’re just like a bank except our customers (members) own us. Members join by paying a one-time membership fee of $5.
Our main goal is to provide better products and services to our members, not seek a profit as so many traditional banks do. Any money we earn is invested back into the organization, issued as cash dividends to our members, or donated back into the community.
There’s no pressure to move everything. Try us out and if you like how much you save you can gradually switch more items over.
Give us a call at 1.866.446.7001 and we can help you switch payments and direct deposits quickly and safely from your current bank.
