Community investment:
We do local.
When you bank with Vision Credit Union, you’re banking with a rural Albertan cooperative that cares about the community where you live. We actively support our rural communities at a local level through investments in local charitable causes, sponsorship of local teams, activities and events, support for employee volunteerism and contributions to organizations like Stollery Children’s Hospital and STARS which provide critical healthcare for rural Albertans.
Here’s what that looked like in 2023.
