Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Kindred different from a bank?
Kindred is a member-owned cooperative, not a shareholder-owned bank. Our members are our owners, and our profits are reinvested into the communities we serve. We have been rooted in values-based banking since 1964, and we are a Certified B Corporation and a member of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values.
What does values-based banking mean?
It means your deposits are used to fund loans and services that align with ethical, social, and environmental values. At Kindred, socially responsible investing is our institutional default, not an add-on option. Our investments are screened for socially responsible criteria, and our lending supports community-building initiatives like affordable housing, creation care, and faith-community projects.
Is my money safe at a credit union?
Yes. Deposits at Kindred Credit Union are insured by the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Ontario (DICO), which provides unlimited coverage on eligible deposits held in Canadian currency. This is separate from, and in many cases more comprehensive than, CDIC coverage at banks.
What is a Creation Care Loan?
Our Creation Care Loan offers reduced-rate financing for green home improvements, including renewable energy systems, geothermal installations, and energy-efficient upgrades. It comes with a 0.5% environmental discount. It is borrowing with a purpose, and it is available at our Aylmer branch. Learn more about the Creation Care Loan.
What is a Community Inspiration GIC?
A Community Inspiration GIC lets you earn competitive interest while Kindred donates bonus interest to the church or charity of your choice. It is a way to grow your savings while directly supporting your community. Learn more about the Community Inspiration GIC.
Does the Aylmer branch offer agricultural banking?
Yes. Kindred has more than 60 years of agricultural lending expertise. Our team at the Aylmer branch understands seasonal cash flow, equipment financing, farm mortgages, and succession planning.
