A Co-operative
Financial
Institution
We work to simplify and enrich members' lives with exceptional, locally-relevant solutions.
North Peace Saving is uniquely placed to provide the perfect financial services to our members to help them achieve their dreams and realize their ambitions.
Personal banking is a business relationship we take personally. We take the time to get to know our members, their families and their plans for the future - so we can help make them happen.
We are committed to our members' banking needs, and work harder and closer with our clients to find the right solutions to the challenges they face. As a local financial institution we understand them well. This has led to breakthrough products and services that meet the needs of our members, from simple day-to-day banking to complex business transactions.
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.
