sunrisecu.mb.ca As a financial institution owned by the people it serves, Sunrise Credit Union is part of the co-operative movement that works for the betterment of members and communities.

The Origins of Sunrise Credit Union

The first credit union in was or- ganized in 1937 by a priest, Father Arthur Benoit, in the French farming community of St. Malo. Like most farmers at the time of the Great Depression, they were suffering. Father Benoit brought them together to help each other financially. The first loan financed the purchase of a cream separator.

People began founding credit unions in ever-increasing numbers across the province, and by 1939 there were 19 credit unions in Manitoba, with $49,990 and 2,406 total members.

Today, Sunrise Credit Union provides complete financial services
