What our advisors have to say
“If you want to feel part of a team, and not just a number, come and join us at Meridian.”
Being part of the largest credit union in Ontario gives us a seat at the table with our dealer (Aviso Wealth Inc). At the same time, we’re small enough to feel that, as employees, we have a voice.
Meridian values long-term growth opportunities for advisors.

Regional Vice President at Meridian Credit Union | 35 years of experience | GTA
Many people think the job of a financial planner is all about money. To me, nothing could be further from the truth. The work of a financial planner is all about relationships – getting to know your Members, understanding their needs and goals, and only then educating them on the products and services that can help them reach their financial objectives.
