What our Members are saying

2024 Member Survey Responses

"Employees go above and beyond to provide friendly, fast service. I always feel taken care of."

"Although over the years I have heard some fairly caustic criticisms about LDCU from some people, most like me/us have had a much more positive relationship. Why? Because LDCU has earned our Trust and Loyalty. Staff have always done their best to accommodate our financial needs at any one moment in time with due diligence and caring in a way that both parties receive 'Value for Money'. Our sophisticated (usually humble) yet competitive stand-alone financial institution survives and thrives because it Trusts and is Loyal to its customers/members in return. Service. Service. Service. with a warm and welcoming attitude."

"I am always welcomed and helped by the staff. It is an excellent place to bank."

"I always get great and friendly service from my branch they have been very helpful with all of my financial needs. I have been with my branch here in Ladysmith for many years very friendly and helpful staff there as well."

"I like the way I'm treated and it's personal treatment. Always happy to see me. And easy chit chat with them.; I like that."

"LDCU offers all the services I require, and when I have what might be called an oddball question, the staff always do their best to find an answer for me. I always feel like I'm talking to a friend when I talk to anyone working at LDCU. Love that!!"
