SHARED VISION FOR THE FUTURE

People helping people. It’s the credit union way, and it dates back as far as the 19th century when people began forming cooperative structures, pooling their money to help one another and to respond to the needs of their local community.

Together with Interior, we envision a future that is not altogether different from that of our founding members. It is a future with our members hopes, dreams, needs, and financial success at the center of all we do.

It is a future where:

Members are treated as people and relationships and human connection play a central role in banking. With more ways and places to do your banking, no matter where you are in the Province*, you will receive exceptional member service, convenience and ease combined with deep local knowledge and community connection.

Employees are empowered to grow their careers through education, training, and opportunity. Working in a healthy and supportive environment, and guided by our cooperative values, employees are encouraged and challenged to look for new solutions, to leverage local knowledge to address local needs, and to always do what’s right for the member, even when it means taking that extra step.

Our Communities share in our success. Through a robust employee volunteer program, financial workshops, sponsorships, donations, grants, a Million Dollar Bursary program, and a $1 million North Peace Savings Community Legacy Fund, we put our expertise and profits to work for our communities – because we know that when our communities succeed, we all succeed.

This is why we believe that we’re stronger together, building on the legacy of our founding members, as we continue working cooperatively to help each other and our communities thrive.

*If the Proposed Merger is approved, over time, members of North Peace Savings (now as members of Interior) would have access to 25 branches spanning 18 communities in the BC interior, from Northeastern BC through the Cariboo and Thompson Okanagan.  In the future, Interior hopes to further expand this network and deliver greater member and community benefits by joining forces with additional credit unions. With increased scale, both Interior and North Peace Savings boards see an immense opportunity to deliver improved products, services, digital experience and rates to members, all while maintaining local community investment and decision making that is core to our shared credit union values.
