Change of this forum name | DUCA Credit Union | Discussion forum

Arguably, "DUCA Credit Union" remains a common name, at least for now, given a recent press release, the HTML title of its website, and Wikipedia.  

The Celero press release and Wikipedia article are likely inaccurate. This leads me to believe the HTML title, to the extent people look at such details, was also an oversight on the part of the website designer. I suspect, if Marketing had their way, it'd probably be "DUCA" or "DUCA Financial Services Credit Union". Note, too, the footer of the DUCA website includes the latter.

DUCA's 2018 digital (HTML) annual report makes no mention of the legal name, other than in that footer, but it also makes no mention of "DUCA Credit Union". It frequently refers to itself, severally, as "DUCA" and "the Credit Union".

DUCA is the common name, but given it's a credit union, I'd recommend a parenthetical qualifier, like this:

DUCA (credit union)

or:

DUCA (Ontario credit union)

Coast Capital Savings is federally-regulated, so CDIC insurance is apparent, and thus doesn't need the parenthetical qualifier.

Cheers,
