EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This weekend, Servus Credit Union shared $54.6 million of profits with its membership— up from $54.4 million shared in 2020.
"This year, Servus continued our strong support for members both personally and financially," says Ian Burns, President & CEO of Servus Credit Union. "We’ve maintained our strong financial position and are proud to be returning a total of $54.6 million, including a record amount of Profit Share Rewards® cash, to our members."
Servus members received a record $36.1 million in Profit Share® Rewards cash — up nearly $3 million from the $33.3 million paid in 2020. Along with Profit Share Rewards cash, Servus also returned $14.3 million in common share dividends and $4.2 million in investment share dividends.
"As a member-owned institution and we must react to every issue that affects Albertans, whether it’s COVID-19 or the economy. I’m proud of our credit union and our employees for the ways we've all come together to help members feel good about their money this year. To close out 2021 sharing millions with our members is the perfect punctuation of those efforts.”
In December, all Servus members are eligible to receive profit share by way of cash and dividends — something only credit unions offer within the financial services industry. Since 2009, Servus has returned more than $630 million to Albertans, one of the highest returns of its kind in Canada.
