We’re Your Community Credit Union
Strengthening our local communities
Since 1944, Union Bay Credit Union has been your community credit union, serving the needs of our members and giving back to our local communities.
With a wide array of financial products, services and account options, we’re able to offer you the financial services you need in today’s modern world with the close-knit feel and personal connectedness of a bygone era.
When you join UBCU, you become a proud member/owner of your homegrown, community credit union. You also become part of a growing cooperative movement that’s turning away from the ideology of profit for profit’s sake and embracing the values of equality, decision sharing and community building.
Decisions we make at Union Bay Credit Union are made right here at our branches. This is where we live, this is where we work and this is where – with your help – we’re making our communities stronger one member at a time.
Supporting Affordable Housing
As your local credit union committed to supporting our members, we care deeply about the communities we serve.Right now our communities have a desperate need for affordable seniors' housing. Be it through donations, low cost loans or mortgages that traditional banksers choose not to touch, Union Bay Credit Union has always supported community-driven efforts to provide affordable housing options for seniors and families.
Union Bay Credit Union is proud to provide donations, low-cost lending and other support to the organizations working to provide affordable housing in your community.
Proudly Supporting the leaders of tomorrow
We all know that our population is aging. One thing we don't hear much about however, is how our aging workforce will affect the leadership capacity within our organizations. As workers retire in increasing numbers, are we preparing the next generation to pick up the torch?The problem is equally pressing in the nonprofit sector. One local community group, for example, has an average age of 75, and we suspect there are others with similar demographics. In order to sustain the vital work of our community organizations, we need to empower the leaders of tomorrow to step forward and contribute their ideas and energy in a meaningful way.
At UBCU, we're continually looking at ways to mentor, transfer knowledge and otherwise prepare our youth for leadership roles. Along with other credit unions across the province, we proudly support the YES (Youth Exellence Society), which works to build the skill set and resiliency of BC youth through leadership camps and other programs. Its long-term mission is one that we can all rally behind: creating supportive, inclusive communities that encourage us to challenge ourselves and create positive change.
If you're looking at retirement in the not-too-distant future, think about how you can start transferring the vast knowledge you've accumulated to the next generation of young leaders. And if you're and up-and-coming leader, start identifying opportunities for mentorship or more active involvement in your organization or community.
By proactively working together, we can harness the goodness of the next generation and achieve the goal of healthy, united communities.
