About Us

Hi! We’re Innovation Federal Credit Union. Our purpose is to simplify banking for all Canadians. We like to keep it simple. We have three values – Accountability, Integrity, and Respect – and we are constantly striving to improve our organization to make it better for you (our member and prospective employee)!

How are we different from other Credit Unions? We’ve put in the work to become a federal credit union – just one of three in Canada – to secure the future of our organization and continue to grow across Canada. We are proudly rooted in Saskatchewan, but our vision is national, or as we like to say, "Made in Sask, Built for Canada". 

What sets us apart:

• Commitment to Community: $1.1 million was given to local organizations last year who are making a difference
• Strong focus on Diversity and Inclusion: Nearly 32% of InnovationNation proudly identifies as part of a designated group, reflecting our strong commitment to fostering a diverse workplace
• Benefits that start when you do: Our full-time staff participate in a 7% employer-matched pension plan, extended health benefits, employee and family assistance program, and a staff loan rate. These benefits all start on Day 1 of employment, no waiting period!

In the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, we acknowledge that we are on the traditional territories of the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit who have graced these lands for millennia.

We are privileged to live on, work on and enjoy the benefits of these lands, now known as Canada.
