Move Money Online

Creston & District Credit Union offers you the convenience of sending and receiving money through MemberDirect ® online banking.

INTERACĀ® e-Transfer

All Creston & District Credit Union members can send money to a friend by email and online banking using INTERAC® e-Transfer. 

Interac® e-Transfer is a simple, convenient, and secure way to send and receive money directly from one bank account to another. All you need is access to online or mobile banking through a participating financial institution and you can send money to anyone with an email address or mobile phone number and a bank account in Canada — without sharing any personal or financial information. It's a great alternative to cheques and cash.
