Branch Manager - Sen̓áḵw Village

Our Story & Purpose:

We’re Vancity, a member-owned credit union built on the principles of inclusion and social justice. Since 1946, our relentless commitment to these values has helped us challenge the status quo and break down barriers.

About the Sen̓áḵw Branch:

The Sen̓áḵw Village community branch represents a meaningful evolution in how Vancity delivers purpose-driven banking. Identified in our 2026 business plan and planned to open near the end of Q3 2026, it reflects our commitment to reconciliation, equity, and relationship-based service, and will serve as the Centre of Indigenous Banking for the organization.

Located on Squamish Nation land, the branch enables First Nations members to receive tax-exempt deposit interest and supports Nations who require financial relationships to be conducted on reserve - helping build trust, respect, and long-term relationships with Indigenous communities.

The branch operates through a relationship-based, high-touch service model in a space intentionally designed to reflect Squamish Nation values.

Key features include:

• Pod-based wickets to support private and respectful member conversations
• Bookable offices and flexible workstations to enable staff mobility
• A dedicated Elders Corner, offering a culturally respectful space for Indigenous Elders
• A design grounded in Squamish Nation cultural attributes, creating a welcoming and respectful environment for members and staff

The branch serves Indigenous members, residents of Sen̓áḵw, and the broader public, with success measured not only by outcomes, but by the trust built and long-term community impact.
