About Interior Savings
Credit unions occupy a particular place in the interior of British Columbia. They answer to their members rather than to shareholders, their branch networks follow the valley towns instead of the big cities, and in a smaller community the branch is often the only one of its kind on the street.
What a counter like that handles is broad: everyday accounts, lending, and the mortgage conversations that dominate a place like this one, where a great many households bought into hillside subdivisions and cross the bridge each morning to pay for them. Teller business is usually walk in, while anything involving lending or planning tends to run on appointments, and the wait for one can stretch at month end. Working out which of the two you need before you set off is half the battle.
Interior Savings keeps its Westbank branch at 3718 Elliott Road, a turn off the main commercial run through the older core of the west side. Branch details sit on interiorsavings.com, worth a glance before making a special trip in from Glenrosa or Rose Valley. For anyone who has spent an afternoon inching toward the bridge, keeping banking on this side of the water is a small argument that makes itself.
