Credit unions growing

VANCOUVER (CP) —
When two of the largest
credit union mergers in Cana-
dian history took place in
B.C. this month, ‘the event
was almost unnoticed.

For although the new in-
stitutions — First Pacific in
Victoria and First Heritage
in the Fraser Valley — rank

among the top 20 credit.

Columbia also contains Van-

gest credit union in North
America. *

And. the mergers ‘took
place in a’ province where
credit: unions, ‘already ser-
ving 34 per cent of the pop-
ulation, are gaining strength.

Ten years ago, B.C.’s 199
credit unions held $987,144 in
assets for their 484,976 mem-

bers. Estimates for 1982~

place assets at $5.3 billion
and membership at 927,000.

In terms of total member-
ship, B.C. is third behind
Quebec, the birthplace of
Canadian credit unions, and

Saskatchewan. An amazing.

the province's 1,490 caisse

residents belong to 225 credit
unions with assets of $3.2
billion,

The reasons for the popu-

larity of credit unions in all
three provinces are similar,

manager of First Heritage.
