Me-Dian Credit Union | GIC discussions | Discussion forum

Great GIC rates. Can't find their savings account rates anywhere on their site. Site needs some work still. Few dead links. Bit out of touch with no free checking option (unless you're over 65) and fees on transactions are a deal breaker.

History

Me-Dian was founded in 1978 as the Métis Credit Union of Manitoba as a "closed bond" credit union. Members of closed bond credit unions share a distinct association based on religion, profession, culture or some other criteria, and nearly every credit union in the province has been closed bond at one time or another.

The driving force behind the founding of the credit union was the Manitoba Métis Federation and its members, but the credit union later changed its name to the Me-Dian Credit Union of Manitoba when the board opened up the bond of association to include the entire Aboriginal population - First Nations and Inuit along with Métis.

In 2009, Me-Dian opened its doors even wider, welcoming those who are not of aborigional heritage as associate members of the credit union.
