Here’s what makes us different
Your money
As a co-operative, our members are our only shareholders. That means you have a say in how we put our profits to work.
Your community
Your deposits earn competitive returns for you, while supporting businesses and other organizations that are making positive change.
Your well-being
It’s not just about what you need now. It’s about what you need in the long-term.
What’s in it for you?
What’s in it for your community?
You’re an owner.
We want to do what’s best for our members. Because like you, we’re members too. When you open an account with Vancity, you join over half a million existing members in ownership—including everyone who works at Vancity. Your success is our success.
As a member you get to purchase five membership shares, totalling $5. It’s these shares that give you an ownership stake.
