Posted: June 12, 2025 Start Date: ASAP
About Us:
For over 70 years, we have been helping our members achieve their financial goals, big and small. We may have grown in size over the years, but we'll still treat you like family.
In 2009 Your Credit Union became an “open bond” institution, which meant membership was open to everyone. Since that time, we have welcomed a host of new member-owners who respect and appreciate the equity and intelligence of co-operative banking.
What is a Credit Union?
A credit union is a financial institution that gives you access to the same great products and services you have perhaps come to know and love from the Big Five banks, except...
As a credit union member, you are a part-owner of the business. Yes, you read that right.
Your $5 membership fee gives you a lifetime of benefits, including membership shares, having a say in governance and decision-making processes, and of course, a lifetime of personalized financial advice that you would not be able to get at a big impersonal bank. Oh, and did we mention fewer fees?
Values:
Compassion
· We care about our employees, members and the communities we serve. And we like to show it.
Collaboration
· Together, we can accomplish anything.
Innovation
· We push the boundaries of 'banking' as we know it and strive to offer innovative products and services for our members.
Our Employees:
Our team invests in each other, supporting our members as well as each other, as active members of the communities we serve. We care. We care about work-life balancing and the challenges that come with that. We care about your growth aspirations and look for ways to help you achieve that. We care about working together to meet the needs, and future needs, of our members and staff.
We offer opportunities for training and advancement.
We offer competitive wages, a generous benefits package (health, dental, prescription, life, dependent life, AD&D , short and long term disability), 75% of the premiums are paid by YCU, a GRSP matching program up to 7.5%, and a healthy number of paid vacation and sick leave days.
