About Me-Dian Credit Union

Me-Dian Credit Union is the first Indigenous full-service financial institution founded in Canada. As a co-operative, the people who use our services - our members - are also owners and shareholders. Members have a say in how Me-Dian Credit Union operates. They also share in the profits of the credit union, usually in the form of lower rates on loans and higher rates on deposits than they could ordinarily get at any other financial institutions. Me-Dian Credit Union is responsive to the needs of members, no matter where they live or how they choose to access our services.


The staff of Me-Dian Credit Union are more than employees, we are family and as family we take our role very seriously. We provide our members with a level of service that is above and beyond that of any credit union - to us you are not just a member you are family. It's what sets Me-Dian Credit Union apart from most other financial institutions. We know you by name.


Founded in 1978 as the Métis Credit Union of Manitoba, we became Me-Dian when the board opened membership to include the entire Indigenous population – First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. In 2009 the doors were opened wider, welcoming those who are not of Indigenous heritage as associate members of the credit union. To this day, Me-Dian Credit Union serves all Manitobans in the spirit of reconciliation.
