Who Can Become a Member?
Anyone! Our credit union isn’t restricted to a certain group of people. At Osoyoos Credit Union we welcome anyone who wants the best in financial products and a more personal, friendly approach to professional financial service. As a member/owner of the credit union, you enjoy all the privileges of membership. You are no longer a customer!
