About Kindred Credit Union
Kindred Credit Union (“Kindred”) is a member‑owned financial cooperative based in Southwestern Ontario. Kindred’s values‑centred approach is woven into everything the organization does, making it the one‑of‑a‑kind choice for those who want to “Make Peace with Your Money” – peace of mind and the impact of using money as a force for good.

Kindred offers a complete range of banking, borrowing, and investing products and services through eight branches and online. Members benefit from access to over 43,000 surcharge‑free ATMs through THE EXCHANGE® Network in Canada and the Allpoint Network in the US.

Kindred’s Purpose is cooperative banking that connects values and faith with finances, inspiring peaceful, just, and prosperous communities.

Shared Values
Kindred operates in accordance with a strong set of shared values that are key to what makes it a values‑centered financial institution, namely:

Integrity means we strive to align our words and actions with our values at all times. We hold ourselves accountable to keep promises and follow through on commitments. When a mistake happens, we make it right. We strive to do the right thing in the right way for the right reasons.

Compassion guides how we relate to each other and our communities, when it’s easy and when it’s not. We start with empathy, grace, and a deep appreciation for the equal value of each person, while also encouraging each other’s growth. Our mutual wellbeing depends on caring for one another in community where everyone is welcome.

Stewardship acknowledges that all we have has been entrusted to us and we are called to be wise with the money, time, and other resources in our care. We will be a trustworthy expert our members can rely on to do what’s in their best interest and that of our credit union.
