We created our Community Sponsor Program to address the fact that there are many people who lack the identification necessary to open a bank account.

Through this program, we work with community partners who ‘sponsor’ individuals and confirm their identity so they can open an account with ACU. As an added service, our staff may also offer workshops on basic banking and money management.

At this time, the following community organizations participate in our Community Sponsor Program:

• North End Community Renewal Corporation (Community Financial Services Centre)
• Siloam Mission (Mission Off the Streets Team)
• SEED Winnipeg (Asset Building Program)
• Fort Garry Women’s Resource Centre (Asset Building Program)
• Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre (Asset Building Program)
• Rossbrook House (Asset Building Program)
• Urban Circle Training Centre (Asset Building Program)
• SISTARS Community Economic Development Co-op
