When you bank local, your money stays local, and we’re proving just how powerful that can be.
As Board Chair, Maria Reimer, recently reported, SCU enjoyed a strong fiscal year again in 2024 and we were thrilled to share a record-breaking $15 million Member Bonus. It’s the largest cash-back bonus in Manitoba credit union history and it’s our way of sharing success with the people and businesses that made it happen.
“When you bank with a Canadian-owned credit union like SCU, your money stays local, supporting the families and businesses that make our communities stronger,” says Curtis Wennberg, our new Chief Executive Officer. “When you choose SCU, you’re not just opening an account, you’re becoming part of a financial institution that invests in you and your community.”
Sharing profits in the form of a 100% cash-back bonus with our members is a practice we have employed for many years. Since 2000, we’ve given back $119 million through our Member Bonus. This commitment reflects a core value of the credit union system—putting people first.

Supporting local families and business
The Member Bonus is just one of the ways that we support the local economy. Whether it’s helping families buy their first home, save for their retirement goals, or manage day-to-day expenses, we offer customized solutions and expert advice that focuses on members’ needs. “SCU is a leader in the Manitoba credit union landscape and, in the short time I’ve been here, I’ve come to appreciate what makes us truly unique,” Wennberg added. “Every day, our team comes to work with a shared purpose—to help our members build their best financial future.”
Local businesses are the heart of our community, and we are proud to stand behind them. From small startups to well-established companies, we offer a range of financial products and services that businesses need. More importantly, we understand the unique challenges business owners face and work alongside them to find solutions.
By supporting local businesses, we also help to create jobs and boost the local economy. When local businesses thrive, the entire community benefits, and we are proud to be part of that success.
All of this to say, when you choose SCU, your money stays close to home and supports the people and organizations that make our community a better place to live. The $15 million Member Bonus is more than a reward, it’s a reminder that banking local can make a difference.
