We’re excited to share that as of today we are officially a federally regulated credit union! This achievement marks a historic milestone in our evolution as a member owned cooperative, combining the local touch of your credit union with the national resources of our collective.
Your everyday experience as an Enderby & District Financial member remains the same. Banking that’s built on community, powered by cooperation, and rooted in your local brand–which is now a division of Tru Cooperative Bank (our new legal name, formerly First West Credit Union).
On this significant day, Launi Skinner, CEO of Tru Cooperative Bank shares: "Canadians shouldn’t have to choose between scale and service, or digital convenience and personalized advice that’s truly in their interest. Becoming federally regulated is about being ready for what our members need next. We can deliver the stability and sophistication Canadians expect from a leading bank, while deepening the personalized advice, local decision‑making and member‑first focus that define our cooperative.”
