Any friend or family member who's a Canadian resident, 16 years of age or older, and isn't an existing SASCU member (or hasn't held a personal membership within the last 3 years).
Some things are too good to keep to yourself. When you refer a friend to SASCU, you are not only earning $50, you're introducing them to a local team that truly cares and a credit union that gives back to the community.
Here's how it works
Sharing something good should be simple. So we kept it that way.
Make sure you're eligible
Be an existing SASCU member and have reached the age of majority in your province of residence (19 years or older in British Columbia).
Submit your referral
Fill out SASCU's official referral form with your and your friend's name and email. It only takes a minute.
Your friend gets the invite
Your friend will receive an email invitation letting them know you've referred them. They'll have 60 days to open an eligible chequing account and become a SASCU member, using the same email address.
Important - Your friend must open their SASCU account using the same email address that received the invitation. That's how we will match their new account to your referral.
You both get rewarded
Once your friend becomes a SASCU member and funds their account with a minimum of $50, we'll deposit $50 into your SASCU account. They might be eligible for the $300 welcome bonus, too! Learn more about the New Member Offer here.
Why it's worth sharing
The best recommendations don't come from ads. They come from people you actually trust. When you refer a friend or a family member to SASCU, you're giving them a place to belong, too; not just a place to bank. You're vouching for a local team, a credit union that gives back, and banking built on relationships, not just transactions.
Refer up to 10 per year
Refer up to 10 friends or family members each calendar year.
Simple to do
It only takes a minute to fill the referral form online.
A win for both of you
Your friend becomes a member of a credit union that's invested in seeing them thrive. You get $50 for the introduction.
