I may be mistaken, but wasn't the previous offer that expired on August 31st limited to $250,000 whereas this one is $500,000 ? They seem to be getting a little hard up for cash.

Previous offer was 4.6 for a 4-month call at 500 thousand.

Can this promo be opened by someone not in Manitoba? Can I open it if I reside in British Columbia?

Yes, anywhere in Canada. I'm in Ontario and had no problems.

Wasn't there something peculiar and grossly inconvenient about some procedure with Steinbach CU that was brought to the Forum's attention a few years back that deterred Forum members from dealing with them?

Something to do with EFT, or access to your funds...limits ????

Just a head's up for anyone else who newly joined SCU...

I completed the application to join SCU on 10-Sep-2026, and I had been waiting for the ability to log in to, link, and transfer money into my new SCU account. I sent an e-mail on 18-Sep-2026 to notify that I was still waiting to be able to use my SCU account with no reply. Today, I called SCU and spoke with a CSR, she walked me through everything, and I now have money transfers on the way.

Thus, I wanted to let anyone else who may also be waiting (and, therefore, losing money to lost promotion time) to call SCU (1-800-728-6440) immediately instead of waiting like I did.

What kind of onboarding process requires clients to call in to complete the online signup. That's bad enough, but to be ignored and left hanging is a bit much.

Thus the stellar reviews they have received

That sounds suspiciously like it isn't really an online digital bank offering. There is a web site to capture input. But, the site just queues up requests for manual handling.

Compuserve used to have an online bill payment service. People thought they were paying for electronic payment of their utility bills. One person found out it really wasn't.

The Compuserve member called his utility after being repeatedly charged with late payment fees. He was going to tell them to get their act together. It shouldn't take them weeks to credit his account with the fast electronic bill payments he made using the Compuserve service!

Instead, the agent recognized him. He was the one who was paying his bill with those strange mailed-in cheques!
