Education Credit Union in Canada

Education Credit Union (ECU) is a locally-owned, member-operated financial co-operative. We provide full financial services, including a comprehensive Wealth Management program to over 9,500 members who share the principles of democratic ownership. Our primary focus is you – not profits. For that reason we strive to provide lower or no service charges, higher investment rates, competitive loan rates, and the latest in financial products and services. Our roots can be traced to two Waterloo Region District School Board teachers, Ray Eaton and Gord Gamey, who believed in the long-standing principles held by credit unions: personal service and responsiveness to members’ needs. Through their commitment, the Education Credit Union was formed in 1972.
