Credit Unions Make Personal
Banking a Breeze
The keyword here is "personal" because what separates BC credit unions from competitors is our commitment to the personal touch. When you walk into many financial institutions to open a new account, obtain a credit card or perform a transaction, it can feel like you're getting the third degree.
The open door policy at your local credit union will feel like a breath of fresh air. Like banks, we offer the full range of personal financial services and advice for everyone from schoolchildren to seniors. But we make them easier to access. You'll notice the difference. Don't look over your shoulder; that smile is for you. We're interested in the person, not the purse strings.
Some institutions measure financial success only in dollar signs. Credit unions measure it by a member's potential too. That's why so many people switch to credit unions. To realize their financial potential.
Savings and chequing accounts tailored to your life
BC credit unions want your business, so we make sure that it's as easy as possible for you to open and maintain an account. Whoever you are, whatever your needs. Now there's a concept!
Credit unions understand that everybody has different needs. Needs that aren't met by cookie cutter accounts. Rather than you trying to fit our requirements, we try to fit yours. Depending on your credit union, a wide range of account options are available.
These can include: special accounts for children, students and seniors; accounts based on the number of transactions you intend to make; multi-purpose business accounts; daily interest savings accounts; pay-as-you-go accounts; $US accounts: and more. Why not check with your local credit union to see if they can tailor an account package to suit your needs? » Find a credit union near you.
Online banking, ATMs, and other technology innovations
Most credit unions make it possible for you to perform all of your financial transactions online, from switching funds to paying bills to checking your most recent account statements when you can't wait for the mail. (You can do transactions by telephone too.)
And don't worry about being far from your branch. BC credit unions installed their very first automated teller machines (ATMs) way back in 1980. With your Member Card® debit card, you can perform transactions from ATMs across North America. We recently developed e-commerce capabilities for members and continue to be in the vanguard of technological banking.
Credit cards where credit is due
Your credit union offers a full range of credit card options.
Availability of credit cards varies from credit union to credit union. Some offer cards for students, cards that contribute to the environment, or premium Silver, Gold and Platinum cards. It's a good idea to check with your local credit union to find out what kinds of credit cards they can offer you. » Find a credit union near you.
Businesses benefit too from flexible lines of credit and credit card options.
