Mission and purpose
Purpose of UNI Community
Since 1936, UNI has been operating under the name Caisse populaire acadienne ltée. With assets of $4.2 billion and annual donations, sponsorships and scholarships totalling $2.6 million, UNI is the largest francophone financial institution serving Acadian communities.
UNI, its 1,000 employees and 155,000 members owners firmly believe that one person’s prosperity should contribute to that of others. As a result, each day, the institution supports and finances projects that contribute to the well-being of New Brunswickers rather than shareholder profits elsewhere.
To make this vision a reality, UNI established a citizen cooperative consisting of 3 regional committees and 36 representatives, real agents of change. They are the ones who set our cooperative dis apart from other institutions each day.
They are responsible for meeting the needs of communities and rallying those who create social, economic, environmental and cultural value for the exclusive benefit of New Brunswick’s citizens and business communities.
