...the new banking institution formed to meet the financial needs of creative professionals.

Our credit union was originally conceived and built for the benefit of professionals in the entertainment industry. The time has come to invite everyone to take a closer look at how the formation of this unique financial institution can benefit you.

Whether you are a qualified member of ACTRA, NABET, the Directors Guild of Canada - Ontario or any of the many unions, guilds, associations or companies serving the entertainment industry, you can take advantage of a full-service, full-channel community banking institution designed exclusively for entrepreneurial professionals like you.

We understand the industry and the people in it

At Creative Arts Savings & Credit Union, being in the entertainment industry starts the conversation – not ends it, like at the banks. We understand the special circumstances of the self-employed – circumstances such as variable income, or one cheque a year – and we understand your financial services needs in a way traditional banks cannot. Creative Arts Savings & Credit Union is a banking solution for you, by you, and about you. We "get" you.

You will find a full product and service menu at Creative Arts, accessible online, and supported by branch staff. We are also part of an unparalleled network of surcharge-free ATMs around the province and across the country that gives you ready access to your cash and the ability to make remote deposits. You don’t work 9 to 5, and neither will we.

In life, there are many roles. We're here to help with the financial ones.

Member-driven

Like the fraternal organizations that comprise our family of members, the credit union is a democratically organized, member-driven, grass roots entity. Because we’re a tightly focused, smaller-scale cooperative financial institution, you have a voice in setting our direction; you will elect the board of directors to govern according to your interests; and you are free to volunteer for service on the board or on one of our committees. At Creative Arts Savings & Credit Union, you'll always feel at home.

By bringing your investments, loans and day-to-day banking to us, Creative Arts will provide you with a voice in the management of your own financial affairs. It’s a unique financial institution built from the ground up, just for you.

On our website you will find a wide range of information and news about the credit union and other financial matters of value and interest. See a lineup of the products and services we offer.
