Looking for a Good Credit Union in Canada

[FernGully]

I’ve been thinking about moving some of my banking away from a big Canadian bank and giving a credit union a try. I like the idea of a more personal approach, but there are quite a few options out there. Does anyone have experience with a credit union that offers everyday banking as well as mortgages, loans and investment services?

You might want to have a look at BCU Financial. A friend recommended them to me when I was comparing credit unions, and I ended up spending quite a bit of time looking through their services.

They have the usual banking options, but also mortgages, personal lending, savings and investment products. I also like that they have strong Ukrainian Canadian community roots, so the overall approach feels a little more personal than what you typically get from a large commercial bank. Definitely worth comparing their terms with what you're currently getting.
