Making impact with Shared Success

Members as owners.

Member ownership is part of what makes Vancity different from other financial institutions. Along with having a say in how our credit union is run, you get a share of our profits every year too.

When you join Vancity, you’re required to become a member by purchasing Membership Shares.  Each member, regardless of age, must have at least five Membership Shares (for a total of $5.00). Read the Accounts and Services Guide for additional information about your accounts and membership.

What’s my share this year?

Funding of the program is determined by financial performance, specifically, net income attributable to members. This year, Vancity is allocating $1.7 million from its 2024 profits for member dividends and investment in programs and partnerships that address environmental and social needs in our communities — like climate change, affordable housing, financial inclusion, and Reconciliation.
