In July 1944, the Summerland & District Credit Union was founded by ten people who pooled their resources and managed to collect $17.50. While they started small, they had a big vision. They saw an alternative to traditional banking methods: people working together to reach their goals. Sharing their knowledge, skills and energy, these pioneers built a foundation based on the principle of sound financial management.
People helping people! That’s the essence of your credit union and your community. For over sixty years, the Summerland & District Credit Union has been helping people buy their first car or home, start a new business, send their kids to college, and save for their future — in addition to providing job opportunities for local people. In the coming years, we expect to do more of the same, as our first priority will always be people.
At your credit union, you are not just an account number. You are a member, an owner, a partner, and a neighbour.
