Banking in Saskatchewan: What newcomers need to know
Saskatchewan has a strong credit union tradition — Conexus Credit Union, Affinity Credit Union, and Innovation Credit Union collectively have more branches in rural Saskatchewan than the Big Six banks. In Saskatoon and Regina, all major banks are present. The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) targets specific occupations, and some banks have developed newcomer-specific onboarding for SINP holders.
