As a proudly 100% Canadian organization, we recognize the evolving landscape of tariffs and their potential impact on businesses and consumers alike. While economic shifts continue to drive costs higher, we remain committed to managing these challenges in a way that prioritizes stability, transparency, and trust for our Members. Our fees have always reflected costs passed along from our service providers, ensuring fairness while allowing us to maintain the high-quality service you expect. These fees also help us recover administrative expenses, ensuring smooth operations and continued reliability. Despite rising costs driven by economic fluctuations and external pressures, we stayed true to our commitment—absorbing these increases without raising fees for our Members this year. Providing consistent value while navigating financial challenges responsibly has always been our priority.
One of our greatest strengths is our deep-rooted connection to Canada. We partner with Canadian-based suppliers, reinforcing our support for local businesses while upholding the quality and reliability you rely on. Additionally, our Members—hardworking individuals employed in Canadian companies—are the backbone of our economy and communities, and we remain steadfast in protecting their interests.
To proactively address tariff-related risks, we allocate an annual budget specifically dedicated to managing cost fluctuations. This strategic approach enables us to adapt while maintaining our promise of delivering unwavering service and value. As policies continue to evolve, our commitment to transparency means we will keep you informed every step of the way. As part of this initiative, we are strengthening our dedication to Canadian-made products with new signage across our locations—so you can bank with confidence, knowing you’re supporting local businesses and a resilient economy.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we navigate challenges, embrace opportunities, and reinforce the strength of our Canadian foundation for a sustainable future.
