FirstOntario Credit Union is a community-based financial cooperative serving members in Hamilton, Niagara, Halton and throughout the southwest regions of Ontario.

We started in 1939 when a dedicated group of employees at Steel Company of Canada in Hamilton, inspired by their shared commitment to the idea that people could achieve more through financial co-operation, created the Stelco Employees Credit Union Hamilton Works Limited. The credit union opened its doors with 26 founding members and $54.45 in deposits. Over the years, our credit union grew, expanded, changed and merged with other like-minded credit unions, inviting their members to the FirstOntario family.

Today, over eighty years since we began, FirstOntario has grown into one of the largest credit unions in Canada, serving 126,000 members with $5.8 billion in assets under management. Although much has changed since our humble beginnings, our values remain the same: we put our members first. We’re proud of this legacy and our commitment to being supporters and partners in our community—and we look forward to many more years of serving our members and strengthening our communities!

FirstOntario offers convenient banking options for all of our members. We’re mobile, online and available at your nearest branch, ready to pull up a chair and chat. To find out which account is best for you, visit FirstOntario.com
