Canada has a strong co-operative financial services sector, which consists of credit unions (caisses populaires in Quebec and other French speaking regions). At the end of 2001 Canada's credit union sector consisted of 681 credit unions and 914 caisses populaires, with more than 3,600 locations and 4,100 automated teller machines. By 2012, consolidation reduced this number to 394 credits unions and caisses populaires outside Quebec. Canada has the world's highest per capita membership in the credit union movement, with over 10 million members, or about one-third of the Canadian population. While the sector is active in all parts of the country, it is strongest in the western provinces and in Quebec. In Quebec 70 per cent of the population belongs to a caisse populaire, while in Saskatchewan close to 60 per cent belongs to a credit union.

Credit unions outside Quebec

As of second quarter 2016, the 320 credit unions and caisses populaires outside Quebec reported combined assets of $201.4 billion, a six-month increase of 4.0 per cent over fourth quarter 2015:

Desjardins

Most caisses populaires in Quebec (and some outside the province) are part of a network which operates as the Desjardins Group. Desjardins Group owns and operates a range of subsidiaries, including a securities brokerage, a venture capital firm, and a bank based in Florida.

As of December 31, 2015, Desjardins Group's consolidated assets totalled $248.1 billion CAD.
