Our Imprint

TEUCU is part of your community and we share the same goals and dreams. Like a trustworthy neighbour, we work with you and are actively involved by sponsoring local groups, volunteering and supporting local causes to help our neighbourhood prosper. We believe that our members deserve an opportunity to achieve well being and that working together co-operatively, works for the good of all. Our concern for our community is just one of our Seven Core Principles.

Trust, Loyalty and Compassion remain at the forefront of our day to day activities. We measure our success on improving our members' financial status and strengthening the community as a whole by improving our members overall well being.

To achieve our aim we focus our efforts on:

Member Education

Our members' personal development is important to us. We believe that knowledge and awareness of issues that impact our members is extremely important in order that our members can lead more productive and happy lives.

To encourage our members to pursue higher education and foster an environment for personal growth, we offer the following Grants:

The TEUCU Essential Life Skills Grant - To help prepare our young TEUCU student members for the future. Click here for more information! Deadline for all applications is due on August 9, 2010.

The TEUCU mySELF Optimizer Grant - To help any TEUCU members interested in pursuing personal, educational or vocational learning to improve their personal life skills (i.e. self-improvement course, apprentice programs, complete a degree or certificate etc.). Click here for more information! Deadline for all applications is due on August 9, 2010.

In addition to our grants, we aim to keep our members up to date. We have frequent monthly on-site events and we visit our members at locations where we do not offer a branch. We want to keep you informed about products and services that can be of use to you like Home and Auto Insurance through The Personal. We also have demo days where members have a chance of getting a ‘hands on look’ at some of the features that we offer like Q-trade on-line investing. We publish monthly informational newsletters and frequently update our website to ensure relevant information is always at your fingertips. Our website features a Member Alerts section which informs you about the latest security issues and we also have calculators to help you achieve your goals, whether they would be for savings, loans or even to help you with your home budget Calculators.

We are also aware that not every situation fits in a mould and sometimes we need professional guidance to help us in time of need. As a result we have coordinated our efforts with professionals to bring you Ask an Expert Day. In the past our experts have provided our members advice on matrimonial law, identity theft, estate planning and wealth management matters and all free of charge! Check our Events Calendar often for a complete itinerary of all the events that may be of interest to you. If you want to see what we have done in the past, click here.
