Overview of Vancity

Vancity is Canada’s largest community-based credit union and a global pioneer in the values-based banking movement. Headquartered in Vancouver, Vancity serves more than 560,000 members and manages billions in assets, all while maintaining a steadfast focus on social justice, environmental sustainability, and economic inclusion. They are widely recognized for their innovative "Shared Success" program, which mandates that 30% of their net profits are returned directly to members and the community each year. In 2026, Vancity continues to lead the financial sector in climate action, having achieved a net-zero carbon footprint across all their mortgages and investments. Their mission is to transform the financial industry by proving that a business can be both highly profitable and a powerful force for social good. As a member-owned cooperative, Vancity prioritizes community wealth-building over corporate dividends, funding thousands of local co-ops, social enterprises, and affordable housing projects across British Columbia.
