Credit Union Complaints

In addition to providing the overall framework for the incorporation and regulation of credit unions in Saskatchewan, The Credit Union Act, 1998 describes the responsibilities, obligations and powers of credit unions, the Registrar of Credit Unions, and the Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation. One responsibility of the Registrar is to monitor the investigation of consumer complaints.

Filing a Complaint

Before filing a complaint, attempt to resolve the matter with the manager and board of directors of the credit union.

To register a complaint against an individual credit union, please complete the Credit Union Complaint Form and return it to the address provided on the form.

Issues related to service charges and other fees are not within the jurisdiction of the Registrar. Service charges and fees are set by the credit union’s board of directors and any concerns relating to these fees must be directed to the individual credit union or its board of directors.

Credit Union Central of Saskatchewan (CUCS), the trade association for Saskatchewan credit unions, assists the Registrar in reviewing and responding to consumer complaints.

CUCS role is to mediate policy disputes to ensure that the matter has been addressed by the individual credit union and it's management. Please note that the policies of each credit union are set by the individual credit union's management and board of directors and not by legislation or by CUCS.

For complaint inquiries or further information, please contact our office at (306) 787-6700.
