Meridian Credit Union Ltd. is a Canadian credit union. It was formed on 1 April 2005 through the merger of Niagara Credit Union and HEPCOE (Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario Employees) Credit Union. It is insured by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario.




History


Meridian is the second largest credit union in Canada, and the largest credit union in Ontario, with more than 365,000 members with total assets under administration of over $28.5 billion. Meridian offers banking, wealth management, credit products and services through 89 branches, and fifteen Commercial Business Centres.
Desjardins Credit Union (the Ontario affiliate of the Desjardins Group, formerly Province of Ontario Savings Office ) and Meridian's membership voted in favour of a merger effective 1 June 2011. By 2012, most of the former Desjardins branches in Ontario had been renamed to Meridian branches.
In April 2016 Meridian completed its acquisition from Scotiabank of Roynat Lease Finance, a supplier of commercial equipment leasing. Roynat Lease Finance will operate as Meridian OneCap Credit Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Meridian Credit Union.
On 21 February 2017, Meridian announced and introduced a new line of Visa credit cards, moving away from MasterCard.
On 19 November 2019, Meridian won "Best Credit Union" at the 5th Annual Canadian FinTech & AI Awards.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, Meridian closed branches and reduced hours to comply with lockdown orders. As a result, however, it laid off 109 members of its staff.
