CYPRESS CREDIT UNION & our COMMUNITY

Cypress Credit Union is a multi-branch credit union in southwest Saskatchewan.  Our Vision is to be the financial institution of choice for a growing and diverse membership.  As a relatively small credit union of $256 million in assets, we provide all the services of larger credit unions with a personal touch.  We believe in the Co-operative Principles.  The loan portfolio of $165 million is sound with minimal delinquency.  Being rural, the portfolio is 50% ag with a mix of grain and livestock plus consumer and diversified commercial accounts.

Located in southwest Saskatchewan, Maple Creek is a town of 2,200 with all the necessary amenities.  If you need a larger center, it’s only an hour to Medicine Hat and slightly further to Swift Current.  Feel safe with the RCMP detachment of 7 officers, new hospital with 4 doctors, paramedics, and volunteer fire department.  For the young family, Maple Creek offers Kindergarten to Grade 12 plus Great Plains Regional College. For the history buff, Maple Creek has 2 museums, Fort Walsh is 45 minutes away and the cowboy culture is alive and well.  Keep active at the 2 grass green golf courses, the water park and skateboard park, ball diamonds, arena and curling rink.  Like the outdoors?  Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park is only 20 minutes away and offers year-round activities.  The climate is unlike anywhere in Saskatchewan.   Keep cool in the summer by relaxing in the lodge pole pine and warm in winter when the average high temperature in January is -3°C.

Cypress Credit Union promotes continuous learning. We offer a competitive compensation package, excellent employee benefits including relocation assistance, and a matched superannuation plan.

We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only those candidates being considered for an interview will be contacted.
