Credit Union
Your Neighbourhood
Your Neighbourhood Credit Union is a credit union located in Ontario. It was founded in 2007 through the merger of Windsor Teachers' Credit Union Limited (renamed to Your Neighbourhood Credit Union just before merger) and Grand River Credit Union. It primarily serves Southwestern Ontario and Northern Ontario.
Your Neighbourhood Credit Union (YNCU) traces its roots to 1947, when St. Louis Parish Credit Union began in Waterloo to promote thrift and provide loans to its members. Through mergers with community and workplace based credit unions, including the 2007 combination of Grand River Credit Union and the original Your Neighbourhood Credit Union, YNCU grew into one of Ontario’s larger cooperative financial institutions.
Headquartered in Kitchener, YNCU serves communities across southwestern Ontario and, through Community First, a division of YNCU, parts of northern Ontario. It offers personal and business banking, lending, mortgages, investments, and financial advice.
YNCU also provides financial literacy resources through YNCUniversity, an online hub covering topics such as financial planning, saving, fraud awareness, and everyday money management for members and the broader public.
