Credit unions are about people helping people. At Moya Financial, we take that philosophy one step further by giving back to our Slovenian community. Community giving is an enhanced core value that distinguishes our credit union, setting us apart from other financial institutions. It is the strength of community leadership that guarantees results that will last a lifetime.
Our community is important to us.

As promised, we have expanded our community commitment to four percent of our net profit and in 2020 we exceeded that benchmark by giving back more than $50,000. With many key events we supported in 2019 not taking place in 2020, we launched a new community-focused website to ensure organizations in our community can easily access information about how we can help and also to keep our members and the community informed.
MoyaCommunity.ca represents stronger ongoing support of the Slovenian community and we hope it is your preferred destination to review project funding and Relief Fund requests.
