Integris is pleased to announce that $642,519.75 went back to members and communities in 2016!
As a credit union, Integris is different than the big banks. We didn’t just show up here, we grew up here delivering quality banking, insurance and financial planning/wealth management to everyone who calls ‘here’ home. We are a member-owned financial cooperative. As a financial cooperative, every year we give back part of our profits in the form of share dividends. In 2016 our member dividends paid 1.75% on A Shares and 2.75% for C Shares and a total of $381,651 was paid out to members.
As financial coaches, it is our responsibility to identify the needs of our members, and deliver solutions based on those needs. Our primary mission is not to drive the financial bottom line, but rather to respond to the needs of our members and communities in innovative and responsible ways. As our business grows, so too does our community impact.
You don’t have to be a member of Integris to reap the benefits of keeping profits here in the region. In 2016, Integris invested $260,868.75 into communities throughout North Central BC. When you choose Integris, you are choosing a socially responsible financial cooperative committed to enriching Life out Here.
In addition to community investment and shared success with members, Integris contributes to communities in innovative ways. For example, in 2016 the Integris Community BBQ travelled the region attending and elevating more than thirty events, raising $29,297 for charitable causes.
