Deposit Support Specialist

at  Prairie Centre Credit Union

A PASSION FOR THE PRAIRIES

The Prairies – our home and way of life. Prairie Centre was born on the prairies in 1993 as a result of a merger between five like-minded credit unions in the West Central region of Saskatchewan. Since then, 10 more branches have joined, making Prairie Centre the largest rural-based credit union in Saskatchewan.
Much like the members we serve, our determination, grit, and passion for the prairies is what helped us grow to a full-service financial institution; serving over 17,000 members, managing over $1.5 billion in assets, and employing over 160 people.
