At Meridian, banking feels good

Ever wondered if a credit union would be a better fit for you? Unlike larger financial institutions, credit unions are owned by their Members, not by shareholders. At Meridian, this means we reinvest profit into the products and services, financial tools, and community programs that best serve our Members.

With 370,000 Members and more than 75 years of banking history, Meridian is Ontario’s largest credit union. In addition to helping Members save, borrow, and invest, we actively support the communities we serve.

We offer the same products and services as big banks

Personal Banking

From flexible chequing and savings accounts to innovative credit cards, loans, and mortgages, we offer fantastic service and really great rates.

Wealth Management

At Meridian, we believe that wealth management is for everyone. A Meridian Financial Planner can create a customized plan to help you manage and grow your finances.

Business Banking

Whether you are starting, growing, managing, or transitioning a business, we have industry expertise and innovative products to help your business thrive.
