WHO ARE WE
Fort York Community Credit Union Ltd. currently has over 1,500 members.
Our membership is made up of the retirees of Massey Ferguson Industries, employees of Copp Clark Pitman and Irwin Toy Ltd., the Metro Labour Education Centre, Precision Communication Technology Systems, Expertech, CimcoRegrigeration, and currently, the employees of the Unity Health Network, and the GTA Public Library System.
Our satellite office at Unity Health’s St. Michael Hospital location provides banking services primarily to its employees. We are located in the Bond Wing on the second floor, Suite 2-406.
The Credit Union celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2020. Our Credit Union was officially chartered as the Massey Ferguson Employees’ Credit Union in 1950. Prior to that, the Credit Union had existed with the United Auto Workers Local 439 representing Massey Ferguson employees. For many years, the Massey Ferguson Industry Employees formed the solid base of this Credit Union, both financially and ethically.
In 1978, we changed from an industrial bond to a community bond and renamed ourselves Fort York Community Credit Union Ltd. “Fort” because we are protective of our members’ deposits. “York” because we are situated in the county of York.
While we have come a long way from being a shares and loans in-house Credit Union to a Credit Union offering a versatile range of products and services, we have not forgotten our roots, nor lost sight of our philosophy of “People Helping People”.

Why Choose A Credit Union
At the Credit Union, you are a member, not just a customer.
At the Credit Union, you are a member, not just a customer. The Credit Union exists to serve you and would not exist without you. The money you deposit at the Credit Union is loaned to other members who need funds. Those who borrow recognize that the money belongs to their co-workers and others in their community. Our profits are invested in developing new services for our members.
You, the member, controls the Credit Union. Seven directors are elected by you to direct the affairs of the Credit Union, set policies, and report to the membership at our Annual General Meeting. Likewise, our audit committee consists of Directors selected from the Board.
