To get started, please mail a personalized cheque from your current financial institution payable to Tandia™ for a minimum of $30 (your initial deposit including $25 Member Shares) to:

DirecTCU302-1295 Cormorant Road
Ancaster ON L9G 4V5

​In the memo portion of the cheque, please indicate 'initial deposit'. Once this deposit clears your other financial institution, your DirecTCU™ account will be active and ready to use.

These include:

• Payroll deposit -- instructing your employer to re-direct your full pay to your DirecTCU™ account. Contact a DirecTCU™ representative if you require a PAC form.
• With Me2Me Transfers, you can easily transfer funds between your DirecTCU™ accounts and accounts at other Canadian financial institutions.
• Interac® e-Transfer is a fast, secure and convenient way to send and receive money to anyone with an email address or mobile phone number, and a Canadian deposit account.
• Deposit cash or a cheque in an Exchange Network ATM at no charge.
• Ongoing automatic fund transfers for any dollar amount can be completed between a Canadian chequing account and your DirecTCU™ account on a weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly schedule. Contact a DirecTCU™ representative for more details.

  DirecTCU302-1295 Cormorant Road
  ​Ancaster ON L9G 4V5

These Member Shares are not a fee, they are your initial deposit and represent your share of ownership in a cooperative financial institution. Member Shares entitle you to the full service offerings of the credit union, and the right to vote for Board of Directors representation.
