Lakeland Credit Union launches account with 4 Wing members in mind

Lakeland Credit Union is offering a new account for local first responders and military members.

On Monday, the branch announced the new initiative, which piggybacks on their forces account launched in January.

They said this account was customized to meet the financial needs of regular, reservists or retired Canadian Armed Forces members for 4 Wing Cold Lake.

“After launching the forces account, Lakeland recognized the need to support the region’s first responders who put their lives on the line every day to protect Albertans,” the release said.

“The support has been notably useful in times like these, where they are at a significant risk of being directly exposed to COVID-19 as they fulfill their front-line duties.

“Hence, LCU is launching Heroes Account and package to show appreciation for 4 Wing Cold Lake and first responders (Canadian Armed Forces, Police, Firefighters, Nurses, Doctors, and EMTs). They are an integral part of the Lakeland region more than ever.”

LCU’s relationship with 4 Wing Cold Lake dates back to 1959. As a Credit Union, Lakeland maintains support to the 4 Wing Cold Lake with MVP mortgage rates, provides financial support for 4 Wing MRFCS, and assists for military families

The new heroes account and package includes: 

• No monthly fee
