Credit Union Members
The Credit Union Act, 1998 provides the overall framework for the incorporation and regulation of credit unions in Saskatchewan. The Act describes the responsibilities, obligations and powers of credit unions, the Registrar of Credit Unions, and the Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation.
For information about credit unions select from the options below.
- provide financial and other services;
- operate on co-operative principles;
- must use "credit union" or "caisse populaire" in their name;
- are responsible for the prudent management of their business, including compliance with legislation and standards of sound business practice; and
- are governed by locally elected boards of directors.
If you have a complaint about a credit union, we encourage you to take the following steps to resolve it.
Step 1: Talk to your Credit Union
Credit unions are responsible for resolving complaints because they are able to address issues directly. Ask to speak to a manager or customer service representative of the credit union branch where you encountered a problem. If you are not satisfied with the response credit unions have an internal Ombudsman or compliance office that can review unresolved concerns.
Step 2: Contact the SaskCentral* Ombudsman
You can contact the SaskCentral Ombudsman if your concern is not resolved after talking to your credit union.
The SaskCentral Ombudsman will seek to resolve complaints fairly and does not advocate for you or the credit union when investigating. This service is free.
