Judene
I'm Dr. Judene Smith. I'm the owner of Smith Family Dentistry. My business was undervalued. I called up Meridian and right away the experience was very different.

Anjum
My loan was approved by another financial institution, and when the store was almost ready, he just decided to cancel my loan.

Scott
There seems to be something in the DNA. Maybe it's a credit union status. I'm not sure. But there seems to be something that is different than ‘Schedule-A’ banks.

Mark
I'm most grateful for all the partnerships. You can drive anywhere in southern Ontario and you will see Meridian's commitment to the local communities.

So when I went to Meridian, we got the loan approved in a week's time.

Judene
They took the time to look into the valuation and they were able to give me what I needed. For that. I'm forever grateful.
