From November 1, 2021, to November 21, 2021, the members of First West Credit Union voted on special resolutions that, among other things, authorize First West to apply to become a federal credit union under the Bank Act. If First West becomes a federal credit union, it will automatically become a member of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) and Credit Union Deposit Insurance Corporation of British Columbia deposit insurance will no longer apply. See attached Notice for further detail on what this change means to your deposits with First West.
 

Tiered interest rate is based on the portion of the balance within each tier. Interest is calculated on the closing daily balance in the account and paid at month end. Refer to islandsavings.ca/tools-calculators/rates for our current rates.
