What changes can you expect?
It’s business as usual in the short term.​
CVCU became Kootenay Savings on January 1, 2026. As we work through CVCU fully becoming KSCU, it is business as usual in the short term for CVCU members.
​
You have the same online banking access through cvcu.bc.ca, and in-branch support from the employees in Golden that you know and trust.
​
CVCU members are already able to access some KSCU products and services, and benefit from competitive rates. More KSCU products and services will be available in the weeks and months ahead.
​
The technical integration to KSCU – when your accounts move to KSCU, when you receive new debit cards, and more – will happen in early 2027. We commit to keeping you up to date well in advance of any changes or new opportunities. Learn the latest news on our Updates & FAQs page.​​ ​
Before the CVCU member vote, our two credit unions shared “the why” behind this merger. Watch and learn more.

“At Kootenay Savings, our priority is people — our employees, our members, and our communities. Like Columbia Valley Credit Union, we believe in local banking built on trust, strong relationships, and a deep understanding of the communities we serve.”
