The Kootenay Boundary Community Services Co-operative (KBCSC) is an organization directed by its members to provide resources and services to people in the southeastern part of British Columbia known as the West Kootenay and Boundary regions. Its mission is to work to strengthen its members and address issues of social well-being in the Kootenay-Boundary region.

Quadra Credit Union is proud to be a part of our community. We have been banking on the Discovery Islands since 1941. Our two modern branches on Quadra Island and Cortes Island serve over 3300 members from all walks of life and all sizes of business.

Quadra Credit Union's mission statement is "to be a community co-operative providing equitable financial services to our members in a personal, confidential and professional manner."

Oikocredit Canada Cooperative – West (formerly Oikocredit BC) was established in 1994. 

North Peace Savings and Credit Union (NPSCU) is a democratic, ethical and innovative provider of financial services to its members. Founded in 1947 to provide financial services to people from all walks of life, NPSCU has grown to become a major financial institution serving the people of northern British Columbia.

NPSCU is committed to doing business in a way that strengthens its own long-term success while contributing to the social, economic and environmental well being of the community.

In the early 1940s after the Great Depression, the people in the Dawson Creek area of northern British Columbia (BC) were suffering financially along with the rest of Canada.  The chartered banks were running a tight ship, and credit was only available under impossible conditions.

The economy was exhausted; the, "banks were not lending money and homesteaders relied on moose meat and frozen potatoes" (from the obituary of Garda Orr (Mortenson)).
