At Access Credit Union, we support all members of all abilities. We believe that every member deserves an account and an experience that fits their needs.
This is why we are pleased to introduce our new Ability accounts, which aim to make easy, no-fee banking accessible to our members with disabilities who may need a bit more financial freedom.
Those who qualify for the disability tax credit/CPP disability are eligible for the Ability chequing and savings account.
Talk to your local branch about setting yourself or your loved one up with an Ability account today.
