Access Credit Union says it will consolidate six branches into new or existing locations as part of an effort to streamline operations.
The credit union also announced plans to open a new branch at Kenaston Crossing in Winnipeg in summer 2026.
Effective June 19, 2026, the Moosehorn branch will merge with Ashern, Sanford will consolidate into the new Kenaston Crossing location, and the 850 Regent Avenue branch in Winnipeg will merge with the Plessis Road location.
Effective October 21, 2026, Plum Coulee will merge with Winkler, Emerson with Altona, and the 720 St. Anne’s Road branch will consolidate into another nearby location at 515 St. Anne’s Road.
“Our members are central to the decisions we make. We want to ensure they have access to the services they need, and that the communities continue to be supported, even if the physical branch is not there,” said Myrna Wiebe, CEO and president of Access Credit Union, in a release.
“Any Access branch across Manitoba can serve our members and we carefully considered distances between rural communities where members are travelling for other errands. More members are choosing digital ways to bank, and this shift positions us to focus on delivering greater convenience and flexibility in the future.”
Members of affected branches will receive letters outlining the changes, and the credit union says it will work with customers to ensure a smooth transition.
