GVC Credit Union is a member-owned financial cooperative which was founded in 1940 by members joining together to help one another. Its purpose is:

• To offer savings and loan facilities oriented to the needs of individuals and families in Greater Vancouver.
• To provide members with financial services at competitive rates and in such a manner as to be able to deal personally with each individual member.
• To assist members in prudently managing their financial affairs by providing timely and appropriate financial information and personal loans and deposit counselling.
• To offer other financial services if (in the opinion of the policy makers) they provide a member benefit.

GVC's objective is to achieve the above while paying competitive, dividends, providing good quality working conditions, salaries and benefits to employees, and earning sufficient surplus to provide for statutory reserves and other reserves as might be deemed prudent.

As adopted by the Board of Directors in 1993.
