I’ve chosen to work with EKB, specifically Peter Brown, in many capacities for more than ten years,” says Shelley McDade, Chief Executive Officer of Sunshine Coast Credit Union. “The value they consistently provide to us is responsive, thoughtful legal counsel from someone who has taken the time to truly understand our values and our goals as a community credit union.”
Credit unions play an important role in BC communities, contributing to local economic and social development. As with other financial institutions, credit unions are facing increasing regulatory pressures, new competition, and a compressed financial margin.
Sunshine Coast Credit Union is a full-service financial institution with assets exceeding $447 million; the credit union serves more than 15,000 members. Their vision is to work collaboratively with members, employees, and the community to enrich lives on the Sunshine Coast.
Sunshine Coast Credit Union leads the way in innovative and progressive products, services, and channels with the goal of exceeding members’ expectations. At the same time, the Credit Union strives to be a leader in corporate governance, ensuring the protection of member assets and data as well as demonstrating best-in-class regulatory compliance and risk management.
EKB has worked with Sunshine Coast Credit Union for a number of years. The firm has helped Sunshine Coast Credit Union with the review and negotiation of significant contractual arrangements, including banking system contracts, credit card suppliers, insurance brokerage arrangements, and the structure of its wealth management platform. EKB also regularly advises Sunshine Coast Credit Union on regulatory issues and other general corporate counsel matters.
We support Sunshine Coast Credit Union in its collaborative and innovative approach to enriching lives on the Sunshine Coast.
