Aria Savings is a division of Community Savings Credit Union which was created more than 80 years ago.
Community Savings is 100% Canadian and member-owned. Unlike big banks, we reinvest our profits into local communities—not corporate shareholders.
For over 80 years, we’ve stood up for workers and businesses by prioritizing Canadian-made products and services, with a strong commitment to union labour and shops.
We believe fair pay helps build strong communities, which is why we were the first certified living wage employer in BC. Put your money where your values are.
Our primary goal is to develop banking products and services that cater specifically to our Persian community. This means understanding not only the language, but also the values, the culture, and the financial challenges and opportunities that exist within our community.
We are committed to creating a space where everyone in our community feels welcomed, heard, and supported. This is not just a financial institution; it is a place where your voice matters and where your needs are understood. We know that newcomers to Canada often face many obstacles when it comes to financial services. Many of these barriers arise simply because they don’t have access to institutions that understand their background and language. The team at Aria is here to remove those barriers. We provide tailored solutions that give our community more financial options and a better chance to succeed.
We are building something more than just a bank. We are creating a financial home for our Persian community, a place that truly reflects our values, culture, and dreams. We encourage you all to become a part of this journey, to support the vision, and to help us grow together as we launch this initiative.
