Pan-African Credit Union
Pan-African Credit Union is an initiative, formed by the collaborative efforts of three organizations – The Jamaican Canadian Association, The Lions Circle African Men Association, and the Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce.

The purpose of this initiative is to provide an alternate banking option, that better serves the Black community in the Greater Toronto Area, and eventually, across Canada. According to the National Credit Union Association of the United States, “minority-owned and managed credit unions play a critical role in providing financial services to communities that have been traditionally underserved or unbanked.”

With the creation of PACU, not only will we be providing financial services for the individuals and local Black businesses, we will also provide financial education on topics from budgeting to wealth-building.

PACU is committed to serving individuals and families in the community as well as Black-owned businesses, thus inspiring tangible economic growth for generations to come in the Black community.
