Fund Your Share

All credit union members are required by law to own a membership share. At Northern Savings, this share requirement is equal to $5.00 and entitles you to vote in our member elections and special resolutions and even run for our Board of Directors!

Personal members that have a share account with a $0 balance are being notified that they need to meet the $5 share requirement. If your share account has a balance of $5.00 or more, you do not need to fund your share.

How to fund your share

Fund your share by October 31, 2024 in any of the following ways:

Online/Mobile Banking

In Branch

Pop by your branch and ask our team to transfer the funds or deposit cash to your share.

By Phone

Give us a call and let us know where you would like the funds transferred from and we can conduct the transfer for you.

If your share isn’t funded by October 31, we will transfer funds for you from either your chequing or savings account (after November 1, 2024)

We will make our best effort to choose your most operational account to transfer the $5.00 from. You will notice the transfer on a future statement - where you will see a $5.00 withdrawal from one of your chequing/savings accounts and a $5.00 deposit to your share account.

*One randomly drawn winner will receive a $500 Harvest Term Deposit, issued on November 1, 2024.

Celebrate Credit Union Day with us on Thursday, October 17!

This year marks the 76^th anniversary of this annual event, which will be celebrated under the theme of “One World Through Cooperative Finance”. All Northern Savings members are invited to visit their branch to enjoy a treat and pick up a complimentary 2025 calendar. Non-members are encouraged to stop by and check out the co-operative difference!

We will also be announcing $75,000 in donations to local organizations through our INSPIRE Fund. Stay tuned!
