connectFirst Credit Union

connectFirst Credit Union is a member-owned, cooperative (Schedule-equivalent provincial credit union) financial institution headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, formed on May 3, 2021 by amalgamating four Alberta credit unions (First Calgary Financial, Chinook Financial, Mountain View Financial, and Legacy Financial). At its peak it held over CAD $6 billion in assets under administration and served more than 128,000 members across 41 branches in Central and Southern Alberta, offering retail, commercial, agricultural, and dealer-services banking. Members voted in November 2023 to merge with Servus Credit Union; the legal amalgamation closed May 1, 2024 as "Connect First and Servus Credit Union Ltd." (~CAD $29.3B assets, 600,000+ members), and the unified brand realigned to Servus Credit Union in January 2025 — the connectfirstcu.com domain now 301-redirects to servus.ca. Its open-finance posture is honest and typical of a Canadian credit union: no first-party public developer portal or downloadable OpenAPI, digital banking delivered via the Celero Xpress platform (powered by ebankIT) with core/banking-tech through the Central 1 / Celero cooperative ecosystem, and third-party consumer data access available only through aggregators (Plaid coverage confirmed). Canada's federal Consumer-Driven Banking framework (Budget 2024 / FCAC-overseen) is legislated but not yet operational, so no mandated open-banking API exists.

connectFirst Credit Union is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Financial Services, Banking, Canada, Credit Union, and Alberta.
