Removed money from my bank account, to apparently verify my bank account. Then denied my application because I live in a unorganized township that does not have a physical address...

Types of Cambrian savings accounts

To hold your money securely and earn competitive interest, consider savings accounts from Cambrian Credit Union.

Premium Savings Account. With a Premium Savings Account, you can earn interest at a 2.90% interest rate on your entire balance. This account features the first ATM transaction free each month. With every direct deposit made to this account, you will get one free Cambrian ATM withdrawal in the same month. A Premium Savings account is eligible for TFSAs and RRSPs.

Cambrian savings accounts qualify for Unfee — the solution to save on a range of service fees. Once you have a recurring monthly direct deposit in your account set up, you can get a monthly refund for certain service fees.

How to apply for a Cambrian savings account?

You can apply for a Cambrian savings account online. Go to the Cambrian Credit Union website, select “Apply” from the top navigation menu, and click “Apply for membership”. Then, select the preferred way to apply:

  • By downloading the Cambrian mobile app, taking a photo, scanning your ID, and making a mobile deposit — no need to go to a branch
