Broadview -
On March 18, Broadview Credit Union held their annual meeting. Broadview Credit Union improved their equity position by retaining $115,754 of the profit for the year.
Patronage was not paid last year, due mainly to the Credit Union's wish to work towards CUDGC's recommendation of a 10% equity level, and to the implementation of the new, live banking system.
