About connectFirst Credit Union

As a credit union, we\'re different than a bank - and we like it that way.

At connectFirst, we spend our days helping our members achieve their financial aspirations through a community-focused approach to banking that\xe2\x80\x99s true to our co-operative principles. You\xe2\x80\x99re our member, not a number. We\xe2\x80\x99re your neighbours and your partner. Over 80 years ago we started from humble beginnings. Through the years, we\xe2\x80\x99ve grown to become one of Alberta\xe2\x80\x99s leading financial institutions through a desire to connect the dots between your dreams, your goals, your community, and your financial wellness and we echo these desires through our new, consolidated connectFirst brand.

We believe that banking is about more than money - it\xe2\x80\x99s a cornerstone of every vibrant community and that our members should expect us to positively impact the financial success and viability of the communities that we call home. We invest meaningfully in the potential and well-being of our employees, and what matters most to our members. We have honest conversations about real things, as real people. Our members are owners, they have a say in how we operate, they earn dividends on common shares and investment shares, and they have access to an extensive array of financial products and services.
