First West Credit Union is one of Canada's leading member-owned financial co-operatives, rooted deep in communities throughout British Columbia. Through a unique multi-brand model, First West delivers personalized banking services, expert financial advice, and innovative technology solutions across four locally trusted divisions: Envision Financial, Valley First, Island Savings, and Enderby & District Financial. This approach combines the extended branch network and digital capabilities of a large financial institution with a grassroots commitment to local service, enabling the credit union to serve members from Vancouver Island to the Interior and northern BC communities like Kitimat.
The organization's core business encompasses traditional banking services including personal, commercial, and business banking alongside comprehensive wealth management offerings. First West is currently pursuing federal credit union status to build a stronger, more sustainable future for its members, team members, and local communities. With more than 167,000 members and assets under administration exceeding $17 billion, First West leverages its collective size and strength to provide competitive financial products while maintaining deep community connections and investing in local economic development through partnerships with entrepreneurs and charitable organizations.
