Our Future is Bright
Welcome to Beem Credit Union, a growing community of 160,000+ members that live and work in communities across our beautiful province. Beem Credit Union marks our new legal name and is built on the strong and trusted foundations that North Peace Savings, Interior Savings, Gulf & Fraser and GFCU Savings have worked hard to earn after serving members since 1939.
Beem has become the second largest provincially regulated credit union in BC with approximately $10 billion in total assets under administration. Personal and commercial banking and a full range of insurance and wealth management services are available at 53 branches that span BC from downtown Vancouver to the North Peace region.
Who We Are
At North Peace Savings, our goals are to be professional in all aspects of service delivery, and to be recognized by our members and the broader community as an organization that is values driven. We are committed to enhancing the value of membership through excellent product and service delivery.
North Peace Savings is distinctive from other financial institutions because it is entirely owned and operated by its members. We are an organization whose priority is its members' well being. Apart from providing for operating costs and reasonable contingencies, the credit union returns virtually all profits to its members in the form of more services and a stronger place to do business.
North Peace Savings is a democratic, ethical and innovative provider of financial services to its members. Founded in 1947 to provide financial services to people from all walks of life, NPS has grown to become a major financial institution serving the people of northern British Columbia.
North Peace Savings is committed to doing business in a way that strengthens its own long-term success while contributing to the social, economic and environmental well being of the community. We are committed to delivering real solutions to help our members and community achieve their financial goals. Not only do our members have a say in the future of the credit union, but they also have a share in its earnings.
