Membership dues

Membership dues of $1.25 are paid monthly by all credit union members. Similar dues are paid on a national and provincial level as continued support and advancement of the entire Credit Union system.

These dues allow Luminus Financial to provide member-owners with access to a wide range of products and services, including INTERAC®, our FREE access to ATMs on THE EXCHANGE® Network, and VISA®, as well as the security of your accounts online, including regulatory reporting, anti-money laundering monitoring, and much more.

They also offer services to member Credit Unions such as grant disbursement, grant assessment, and scholarship/bursary assessment for financially deserving youth of Ontario who are strong community citizens. Learn more about the Ontario Credit Union Foundation here.
