Saskatchewan is home to 27 provincially regulated credit unions and one federally regulated institution.  Together, they manage more than $30 billion in assets, serve over 506,000 members and support over 3,400 jobs in communities across the province. Nearly one in two small and medium-sized businesses rely on a credit union for financial services, and credit unions remain a leading provider of mortgages, loans, and agricultural financing. As member-owned cooperatives, they play an important role in Saskatchewan’s economy. 

Beyond financial services, credit unions reinvest in the communities they serve. In 2025, Saskatchewan credit unions returned $16.9 million to members through patronage and dividends, while contributing more than $7 million in community donations and investments—bringing total contributions to nearly $24 million. Employees also volunteer their time locally to support community causes. This financial and volunteer support helps distinguish credit unions from other financial institutions. 

These contributions demonstrate the essential role credit unions play in supporting Saskatchewan’s communities and local economies. With deep roots across the province, credit unions provide accessible financial services, support small businesses, and reinvest in local priorities. Their continued stability and community focus position them as key partners in supporting sustainable economic growth across the province. Looking ahead, credit unions will continue to play a critical role in helping Saskatchewan communities adapt to economic change, support innovation, and ensure inclusive growth for future generations.
