This strategic initiative will empower FirstOntario to better address the evolving needs of its members by offering more personalized, innovative, and seamless financial services, including readiness for consumer-driven banking.

FirstOntario is a member-owned credit union serving over 133,000 people across Hamilton, Niagara, Halton and the southwest regions extending to Chatham-Kent. With deep community roots, FirstOntario has a strong focus on supporting members and investing in the communities it serves.

This integration will streamline operations, reduce complexity, and enable more efficient management of technology as FirstOntario continues its digital transformation journey. In addition, the new platform will also be used to improve the digital performance of Saven Financial and Creative Arts Financial, both divisions of FirstOntario.
