Vancity Community Investment Bank

Vancity Community Investment Bank (VCIB) is a federally regulated Schedule I chartered bank headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Vancouver City Savings Credit Union (Vancity), Canada's largest community credit union. Established to carry the cooperative "community-first" finance model into the national banking system, VCIB is a values-driven, Certified B Corporation and CDIC member that provides impact-focused commercial banking - commercial real estate and affordable-housing lending, clean-energy and green-building finance, social-enterprise banking, Impact GICs, high-interest savings, and business Visa products - to organizations driving social, economic, and environmental change. As a small impact/commercial bank rather than one of the Big Six, VCIB operates no public developer portal, exposes no first-party developer API, and publishes no downloadable API specifications. Canada's Consumer-Driven Banking (open banking) framework, legislated in Budget 2024 and the 2024 Fall Economic Statement under the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, is not yet operational, so any third-party access to VCIB customer data today would be voluntary and aggregator-mediated rather than via a documented open API.
