About Shaunavon Credit Union
History of Shaunavon –
The Town of Shaunavon is located in the Southwest corner of Saskatchewan, 90 km southwest of Swift Current and 50 km from the United States border. With the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1913, Shaunavon became the first Canadian community to grow from the status of a village to a town in less than a year. Since that time Shaunavon has been nick named the "Boomtown of 1913". This theme is still used today in many of the community activities that are carried out yearly as Boomtown Days during rodeo.
Shaunavon offers the surrounding community all forms of services from law enforcement; fire protection; health and dental care; and numerous educational and recreational facilities. With a population of approximately 2000, Shaunavon serves the surrounding agricultural community. Since the discovery of oil in 1952, the community also serves the oil industry offering many services as oil field servicing and construction.
Several financial institutions can be found in Shaunavon. The Shaunavon Credit Union has been serving the community since 1944; we serve members through our branches in Shaunavon, Admiral and Bracken. We are accountable to our members through a local board of directors who establish policies and report on results.
Shaunavon Credit Union - making life easier for YOU…
- With assets of approximately $100,000,000.00, we offer our members all forms of service including full financial planning, personal, commercial and agriculture lending, card services, world-wide investment options, and of course, basic banking options to name a few!
- We have a member equity allocation program (a very unique program in the financial services industry).
- What is it… in years that the credit union has surplus earnings we share it with our members, based on the interest earned on deposits and the interest paid on loans.
- What does that mean…it’s pretty simple really, the more you use our products and services, the more you get back!
- Investments of our members stay in the community, and are available for loans to other community members. Interest paid on the loans also stays in the community, which helps to achieve greater prosperity for everyone.
- We are a strong supporter of the communities we serve; donating resources, creating unique programs and volunteering our time to help with many community events and enhancements.
- Shaunavon Credit Union is locally owned, and local ownership means local understanding. We’re committed to treating each of our members like an individual. And that means we’ll take the time to get to know YOU. Our goal is to ensure that all of our members feel valued, respected and appreciated.
…That’s the credit union difference.
