Gulf & Fraser CU

A financial institution where you matter, where your voice and vote really count, where your interests come far ahead of making profit. That’s what a credit union is. That’s what Gulf & Fraser is.

Gulf and Fraser Fishermen’s Credit Union began in 1940 as North Arm Credit Union. A small group of people from the commercial fishing industry met in a kitchen and discussed their challenges getting credit from commercial banks. Together they pooled $79.13 to start the credit union. That was the beginning of a long history of coming together to make something better, to bring more choice to the hard working people of BC.

We now refer to ourselves as Gulf & Fraser. Five years later, in 1953, we expanded our boundaries to include any and all fishing industry workers and their relatives in BC. We now welcome all members, regardless of their connection to the fishing industry.

Vancouver City Savings CU

Values is what we’re founded on. Vancity was founded in 1946 by fourteen motivated change-makers who felt underserved by traditional banks that wouldn’t lend East of Cambie. So they formed our credit union — a place where the people who bank here, also own the place.

As a financial co-operative, we exist for the sole benefit of our members and their communities and, as a result, we act in their best interest. This often means taking risks and breaking norms. Our founding members pushed the envelope of what was common practice among credit unions at the time.
