Credit Union Membership

Membership at Bow Valley Credit Union is open to anyone who lives in and around Airdrie, Banff, Canmore, Calgary and Cochrane, and surrounding areas. To become a member, you invest up to $25 in the credit union’s common shares. Once you’ve opened your common share account, all our products and services are available to you. Your investment in Bow Valley Credit Union common shares entitles you to attend the credit union’s annual general meeting and vote on issues important to the credit union’s future. You can also vote for members of the Board of Directors. Or, run for a position on the Board of Directors yourself. All Directors come directly from the credit union membership. Investment in credit union shares entitles you to more than decision-making. It also means you participate in credit union profits in years when the credit union prospers. Since 1991, Bow Valley Credit Union members have received over $1,625,000 in patronage rebates based on the products and services they use.
