Vision Credit Union Ltd. – we “see” banking differently.

We may very well be the right fit for you….and you for us.

We’re Vision Credit Union. Although we offer loans, deposits, financial planning service, RRSP’s, mutual funds, insurance products and other product that most F.I.’s are able to offer, we do things a little (some would say a lot) different at our “shop”.

Our focus is our 37,000 member-owners. We’re an organization based on principles over profit. If you are eager to launch a rewarding career with our organization, you will need to be able to
naturally and consistently provide “well above the norm” member service. After all, the Credit Union system has been chosen tops in Canada for twelve years straight in the area of customer service. That’s a reputation we pledge to continue.

We believe that charging excessive fees or providing products and services that benefit our Credit Union more than our valued members is wrong. We also believe that the bulk of our profits must be shared by our members and that some of our profits need to be channeled back to community initiatives in the small rural communities where we live and work.

At Vision Credit Union, an equal opportunity employer, we treat members special. Our goal is to ensure that every one of our  members feels like an extension of our “family”. The team, of which you would be a part, is small in numbers but capable of “moving mountains”. We believe in common purpose (life-long member-owners). We strive for error-free work and accountability.  We’re collectively recognized for our great work: in both 2016 and 2017 Vision C.U. was named one of Alberta’s Top 70 Employers. In  2016, 2018 and 2019, Vision earned the title: Alberta’s Credit Union of the Year.

We are always “on the hunt” for enthusiastic, astute and motivated team members. Joining us represents an opportunity to go home from work feeling fulfilled. At Vision, you will enjoy a salary that is at or above industry standards and there are exceptional advancement
opportunities for the right individual. If you feel you can offer skill and passion to help our organization continue being the financial service provider of choice in rural and entrepreneurial Alberta, we invite your resume.
