What’s a Caisse
About Us | Our History | Partners
Your neighbourhood Caisse is a bilingual financial co-operative where, as a member, you are also an owner who profits from our success.
This makes the Caisse significantly different from traditional banking institutions. In addition to profit sharing with member-owners, the Caisse returns a portion of its profits to the communities it services by supporting local projects and activities. Since earnings remain in the area you live, your membership directly contributes to the economic development of your community.
Membership, which is open to all Manitobans, is your key to accessing the Caisse’s full range of products and services, designed to meet your personal and business banking needs.
Caisses have been serving Canadians
since 1900, the year Alphonse Desjardins founded the first Caisse
in Lévis, Québec. Caisses began as an alternative to banks because they are responsive to the needs of their communities and they guarantee members’ deposits.
Today, Caisses occupy a unique place in the Canadian financial services industry. Here in Manitoba, the first Caisse was founded in Saint-Malo in 1937 and steady growth has ranked the Caisses as a premier financial institution in both urban and rural communities they serve.

There are 5 autonomous Caisses and 22 branches in Manitoba, controlling about 700 M $ in consolidated assets. 30,000 Manitobans are Caisse members forming a system where a provincial central, the Fédération des caisses populaires du Manitoba, provides services and supports the local Caisses. At the core of this successful Caisse network is a group of 42 dedicated volunteers (Board of Directors) and 230 management, administrative support, tellers and member service personnel, each playing an instrumental role in its operations.
Excellent service to Caisse members would not be possible without the contributions of our strategic partners. These organizations are key players in our efforts to bring strong products and services to our communities in a socially and fiscally responsible manner.
