Banking service interruptions

Beginning Friday, March 20, 2026, we will be merging the ACU and Caisse banking systems. This will enable banking across common in-branch and digital platforms and provide more locations for all ACU and Caisse members for their day-to-day banking. Access to most banking services will be unavailable while we carry out the work of merging our systems. 

Caisse product changes

Aligning our products and services is one of our top priorities. Effective March 23, 2026, we will be transitioning Caisse accounts to ACU accounts that best reflect how our members currently bank, borrow and invest with us.

Merger commitments

Commitment to French services

We’re excited about the unique opportunity to serve both English and French-speaking communities across Manitoba. With a nod to our rural roots and the rich history of Caisses populaires, we recognize the deep connection these institutions have in shaping our new corporate identity. We also understand the vital role the Francophone community plays in the vibrant tapestry of Manitoba and Canada. We’re dedicated to ensuring our Francophone members have continued access to services in French, whether in person in designated areas or through digital channels. 

Commitment to rural & agricultural roots

The merged organization would be positioned to provide greater support to rural communities currently represented by Westoba Credit Union in western Manitoba and Caisse Financial Group in south-central Manitoba. The scale of this new entity would allow the merged credit union to provide rural members with wider geographical coverage, a large suite of products, larger scale of funding for large agricultural businesses, and the ability to provide better service through employees with broader and more specialized skills. 

Commitment to values-based banking

As a merged organization, we are committed to continuing to work together and partner with others for mutual benefit and the common good, dedicated to the International Co-operative Principles and the B Corp Declaration of Interdependence. We believe a merged credit union will have even greater capacity to create shared value for employees, members, and communities.
