The Libro Difference

What is an Owner?

Credit unions are financial cooperatives that are locally owned by their account holders — at Libro, our customers are known as Owners.

Why do I have to buy membership shares?

To open an account at Libro, you’re required to purchase membership shares and become an Owner. Ownership is what sets Libro apart. It means you really do own the company, have opportunities to impact our organization, and receive an individual share of our profits.

What’s the difference between a credit union and bank?

Credit unions provide many of the same types of financial products and services as local big banks. Differences are most notable, but not limited to, areas like profit sharing and governance:

• Profit Sharing: As large, for-profit entities, banks operate for the purpose of making a profit that is distributed to the shareholders of the bank. In contrast, credit unions reinvest profits back into the people, businesses, and local communities.

• Governance: A credit union has a board of directors made up of volunteers who have been voted in democratically, with each credit union member getting one vote regardless of how much they have invested. This means real Libro Owners make up our board. In contrast, a bank’s board members are appointed and paid by shareholders.

Does Libro offer free chequing accounts?

Yes. We offer a Go Free Chequing Account for anyone under the age of 26.

What is required to open an account online?

To open an account online, you need the following:

  • To be 18 or older.
  • Have your Social Insurance Number handy.
  • Be ready to purchase memberships shares using your first deposit. If you’re under the age of 26, we will cover your membership shares.
  • Your first deposit must be a minimum of $10.

Note: If you already have a Libro account, you can open another account by calling Libro Connect at 1-800-361-8222, in online banking or at a branch location.

What web browsers do you support?

We support the last two mobile and desktop versions of major browsers (Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera).

How will I get access to Online Banking when I open my account online?

After you’ve been approved through the online account opening process, you will be sent an email with information on how to access Online Banking.
