KCU in the Community

Banking for People, Planet, and Prosperity

At Khalsa Credit Union, we do more than just provide financial services that empower British Columbia’s Sikh community. The ‘triple bottom line’ (people, planet, prosperity) is at the heart of how we do business, and we actively use financial services and focused efforts in the community for the benefit of people, businesses and the environment.
