PREFERRED SHARE OFFERING – SERIES 1

We are so pleased to be able to offer our members this opportunity to invest in their Credit Union.

Summary

The unprecedented growth over the last two years have seen a decrease to the Credit Union’s capital position.  While we are still above the minimum required under the act, the board of Progressive have decided to offer a Preferred Share Offering to their membership so that we can improve our capital position.  Presently equity is sitting at 5.20% and the requirement is 5% under the Credit Union Act.  The approval of the Members for the Preferred Share Offering was granted at the AGM on April 20, 2022.
