NBTA Credit Union’s Story
NBTA Credit Union was started in 1971 as an alternative to the banks for New Brunswick Teachers. From these humble roots, NBTA Credit Union has grown into a full-service financial provider ready to serve the New Brunswick Education sector, members of the general public, and their families. With approximately 4500 member-owners throughout New Brunswick, NBTA Credit Union is an organization concentrated on community support, responsible and competitive banking, and providing unparalleled customer service to those whom we serve each day.
