There's more to your ACU than you know

We put community first, everyday. We believe what benefits us all benefits us each individually. And a strong community means a strong tomorrow for everyone.

Assiniboine Credit Union/Caisse Assiniboine is a financial co-operative owned collectively by its members. Serving over 217,000 members across Winnipeg, Brandon and surrounding rural and northern communities, we manage assets totaling $9.6 billion. We provide financial services that empower people, businesses, non-profits, social enterprises and community organizations to achieve their goals.

With deep roots in Manitoba and a shared vision for accessible financial services, we are dedicated to supporting our members and creating thriving communities.

Who we are

As a proudly member-owned organization offering French language services, we are driven by inclusivity, sustainability and community empowerment. With decades of experience and a deep commitment to service, we work to build stronger communities across Manitoba and make a meaningful impact for all those we serve.

Money doing more is the guiding statement that represents the way we do business and conveys our ongoing commitment to the economic, social and environmental health of our communities.

Since 1937, all the credit unions that form today’s Assiniboine Credit Union/Caisse Assiniboine have been helping our member-owners achieve their dreams and we’d like to help you achieve yours.

Commitment to reconciliation

We are dedicated to fostering positive, respectful relationships with Indigenous communities. As part of our ongoing dedication to reconciliation, ACU was the first financial institution in Manitoba to sign the Winnipeg Indigenous Accord. By signing, we acknowledged our role in supporting the healing journey and to continue working towards a future rooted in respect, understanding and shared prosperity.

French language services

With a rich Francophone heritage, we proudly serve our members in both English and French. This commitment reflects the cultural diversity of our communities and ensures that all members can engage with us in the language they are most comfortable with.

Until our banking systems are aligned, if you are interested or looking for banking services in French, please visit one of our Legacy Caisse locations.

Important member notice: If you are an existing ACU member, you will still need to visit a legacy ACU branch or contact our Member Communication Centre.

Community impact through partnership

We’re committed to making a real difference in people’s lives. We partner with organizations that share our values to drive lasting change in areas like financial literacy, local economic development and social well-being. Beyond traditional sponsorships, ACU’s grant program supports initiatives that empower communities, non-profits and social enterprises, creating sustainable growth and positive outcomes for all.

ACU serves our members on Treaty One, Treaty Two, and Treaty Five lands, located on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg, Anisininew, Assiniboine, Dakota Oyate, Denesuline, Inninew, and Saulteaux. We acknowledge the Inuit in Northern Manitoba and that Manitoba is the homeland of the Red River Métis.
