Do your banking locally

You shop locally. Do your banking locally, too. Here's why 

  • Socially responsible. The community wins. Banking at Parama+- helps to create jobs in our neighbourhood. We hire locally, we pay taxes here in Ontario and we help local businesses succeed. And we support local community projects and programs. 
  • Lower Cost Banking. Members don't pay account or transaction fees to do their everyday banking. Check out our No Fee Everyday Banking Advantage.
  • ATMs. Surcharge-free access to a huge network of ATMs and retailers across Canada, the U.S. and the world - just look for THE EXCHANGE(R), AccuLink(R), accel(R), Interac(R), Cirrus(R), Allpoint(R) or maestro(R) logos.
  • Bank Online. Full digital banking, remote deposit, e-transfers, security alerts and much more.
  • Products. A full suite of retirement and taxable investment products and attractive term deposit and savings rates
  • Deposit Insurance. The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) deposit insurance program protects insurable deposits up to $250k (unregistered) and unlimited (registered). Read more about Ontario Credit Union deposit insurance here:  https://www.fsrao.ca/consumers/deposit-insurance-and-credit-unions
  • Members are Owners. You get to vote and you have influence.
  • Lending Criteria. More flexible than the big banks. You are more than just a 'ratio', our lending decisions are also based on our relationship with you.
  • Highly Regulated. Parama is regulated under the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario which has oversight for all Ontario credit unions.
  • Customer Service Excellence. IPSOS awarded Canadian credit unions the Customer Service Excellence Award (formerly 'the best banking award') for the 15th year in a row. 
  • Not new. We've been around since 1952.
