̨MM Community Credit Union has been a part of the Comox Valley's rich history for decades. Nurturing that relationship for the future, the Island-grown organization has just completed the transformation of its downtown Courtenay location.
As the largest Vancouver Island-based financial organization, ̨MM Community serves more than 120,000 members and clients on the Island and the Gulf Islands. Delivering the best of both worlds, it's big enough to provide all the services members and clients need, while remaining local enough to understand their unique needs.
Its Courtenay location, , was last renovated in 1991 when a second storey was added, and today, clients and community members are invited to visit the renovated space, part of the organization's ongoing efforts to evolve and modernize operations for its communities.
After serving customers from temporary modular offices during construction, the credit union team is excited to welcome members and clients back to the fresh, modernized building – a one-stop shop for expert advice in banking, insurance,* wealth management** and business services. Local entrepreneurs are also realizing the benefits of ̨MM Community’s Small Business Hub, a new addition to the 4th Street branch.
Sustainability was a priority throughout the complex renovation. With features such as an outdoor rooftop that provides green space, renewable wood used in construction, and an energy-efficient heating and cooling system, ̨MM Community was able to reduce its carbon emissions on 4th Street while also preserving the life of an older building. In addition, newly leased office space further supports entrepreneurship in the downtown core.
“We know our members and clients, and we care deeply about improving financial health for Comox Valley communities," says Taurean Seib, Senior Regional Manager. "From the moment you walk through the front door of our redesigned 4th Street location, you’ll be connected with financial experts ready to help move your plans forward. With traditional banking services, innovative technological solutions, and comprehensive lending, commercial, insurance and wealth management services, we look forward to helping you reach your goals.”
The credit union offers a range of personal, business, and commercial banking and insurance* services, as well as wealth management through Aviso Wealth.**
As a 100% member-owned financial co-operative, ̨MM Community Credit Union is focused on building strong and vibrant communities by keeping earnings and community efforts local. Decisions are based on knowledge of the local market, and with an eye to strengthening local economies. In fact, each year, ̨MM Community invests more than half a million dollars into communities across the islands through community funding grants, education awards, sponsorships and fundraising initiatives.
