Why Should I bank at LaHave River Credit Union

Because you'll receive great financial products and services and at the same time contribute to the community in real and meaningful ways. We're more than a bank. We make a local impact - your money stays here and works here. You are more than a customer, you're a member. We provide expert financial advice and services, but we also invest in our members and their communities. We don't answer to distant shareholders. Decisions are made right here in Bridgewater.

Local Ownership and Control

Belonging to a credit union means that you are more than a customer - you are an owner - and as an owner you get to influence the progress of your business. There is a voluntary Board of Directors that you elect with your right to vote at the Annual General Meeting. All decisions are made locally, by people who live in and understand your local community. As neighbours, living and working in the same community, LaHave offers all the financial services you require with a big difference - pride in knowing all monies stay here in our own communities working for your own economic benefit. You'll enjoy a flexible approach to business and responsiveness to local concerns. All things being equal, why would you not choose a financial institution where the very ownership structure is designed to focus on, and is sensitive to, your needs?
