  • March 8, 2017 Attn: Chair, Board of Directors <Credit Union Name>
    March 8, 2017 Attn: Chair, Board of Directors <Credit Union Name> Re: The threat of Coast Capital Savings to the credit union system As you might be aware, Coast Capital Savings, a $17-billion-dollar credit union in the Vancouver/Victoria region, recently passed a Special Resolution to become a federal credit union. This was not a well-considered vote by the member-owners. Rather, it was a prize draw for two $5000 cash prizes in which a majority of the membership simply deferred to the Board of Directors’ voting recommendation, perhaps based on a few facile arguments like “faster to develop mobile apps.” No open debate was held, and no dissenting voices could make themselves heard. The democracy at Coast Capital Savings has been systematically degraded over the past 15 years, leaving a community of self- interested management professionals in control. Coast Capital Savings is the product of mergers of smaller credit unions, and they now plan to continue across the country with a strategy that is corporate-expansionist, not co-operative. Where they can’t merge, they will compete. They will become your immediate competitor as an online credit union. They will be a threat to bring new branches to your town over the years and decades. Please see the evidence for yourself, in the enclosed report. Much of it is written in their own hand. Credit unions are the legacy of grass-roots initiatives from the 1940s. British Columbia is about to lose part of that legacy, to the detriment of the credit union system across Canada.
