Meridian is the story of two great financial institutions coming together to build an even better one. We officially opened our doors on April 1, 2005, following the merger of NIAGARA Credit Union and HEPCOE Credit Union — two organizations with a long history of serving the banking needs of our communities.

Today Meridian is the largest credit union in Ontario, serving more than 220,000 members and with over $5 billion in assets. Meridian offers a full range of banking, wealth management, and credit products and services through our 44 neighbourhood branches and eight Commercial Business Centres. A major competitor in Ontario's financial services industry, Meridian is dedicated to reinventing neighbourhood banking by extending operating hours, increasing member access to financial coaches, and ensuring decisions are made at the local level.

Meridian has a long-standing history of making a difference in the communities where our members and employees live and work. We're also committed to the ongoing vitality of our communities, and through our citizenship initiative – The Good Neighbour Program — we're taking on the challenge of being a leader in revitalizing our neighbourhoods.

Meridian Credit Union started with a promise to better serve our members' financial needs — and we're living that every day. We believe our slogan captures this commitment best — where real people build lives™.
