Who We Are

At North Peace Savings and Credit Union, 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 and Credit Union is distinctive from other financial institutions because it is entirely owned and operated by its members.

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 and Credit Union 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, NPSCU has grown to become a major financial institution serving the people of northern British Columbia.

North Peace Savings and Credit Union 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.
