Tried to do an extensive internet search for any information I could find on this CU.
Could find no financial information, no info re number of members, one location in Toronto - but I did learn that the Membership share(s) is $100 (refundable on ending membership) and also that their online system has had "issues" and they do not use it at this time. All transactions must be done in their one branch.
Not my cup of tea.

Thanks Kesa.
It's interesting ... but it's not my cup of tea, either.
A few more details ➡ https://kcccu.ca/about-us/
Cheers,

You got to have faith in FSRA when investing here.
I will pay them a visit and write about them.
5 dollars annual fees, 65 cent for cheque clearing
At least you get no fee cheqing and unlimited transactions.

I have concerns about FSRA.
I’ll probably stick with MCAN. MCAN has 1yr GICs at 5.45% and CDIC to boot.

Having been able to access the Financial Statements of almost any Canadian Bank, but having been unable to easily access Financial Statements of any Credit Unions (except for the few of which I may be a member, I definitely have concerns about FSRA. I am able to analyze financial statements and by reviewing the statements and Annual Report, I am able to get an impression of their profitability, stability, viablility. In fact, I was always concerned about the "unlimited guarantee" by DGCM on Manitoba CUs and now we see the disappearance of Hubert and ongoing amalgamations - possibly because they knew the writing was on the wall as to their long term viability.

Interesting information. Hope your dealings with them meet your needs.
If the Manager does send you the Financial Statements - could you post (at least) the Balance Sheet and Income Statement here? I basically want to see (at minimum) - Assets, Liabilities, Members Equity, Revenue, Expenses and Net Profit (Loss). Number of members would also be interesting to know. Thx.

On the other hand, with a population about the same as Ottawa, how many CUs does Manitoba really need??

The reduction in CUs is likely due to the move to online banking and cutting staff and overhead. (Amazing, isn't it when a business looks at its bottom line shrinking.) Look at how people complained when the banks closed down a large number of bank branches in populous Ontario - and when Post Canada closed down post offices all over the place. I believe Canada Post is still losing a pile of money. You and I probably grew up when the chartered banks had branches on every other corner in larger towns and cities and locations in most rural small towns - the banks needed to cut costs to satisfy shareholders. You are right that Manitoba probably needs to cut back on so many Credit Unions but not sure the rural folks feel that way.

Some people will surely object to CU branch closures in rural MB, if that's what's happening. I suspect they will care less about how many different CUs there are.
However, it's not like the old days, perhaps 40 or 50 years ago, when the closure of branches of the big banks left people stranded. In many places the CUs filled the gap, and did it well.
But now most people have a computer, most FIs offer internet banking (and expect you to use it), roads and vehicles have improved, and, from what I hear, Manitobans expect to drive significant distances regularly.
In addition, if there is a need, I don't see why they can't provide in-person service to meet demand using mobile offices. Libraries do it; so can they. They can also use Zoom etc. and librarians can facilitate access to that for those who don't have or are not good with computers.
Shareholder sentiment does indeed drive a lot of decisions. Theoretically, with CUs, the shareholders are the members. They want the CU to thrive, but they also want reasonable service.
Personally, I enjoy the diverse offerings of a variety of CUs, and have found them very beneficial. It's a refreshing change from the essential uniformity of the large banks. However, some mergers will no doubt be needed.
