The spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in our region, across the country, and around the world is undoubtedly causing concern for you, your family, and your community. I want you to know that at Advance Savings, the well-being of our members, staff, and community is our top priority.

Current State of Emergency
Advance Savings has been deemed an essential service during the current State of Emergency. During this time, we're open, but our doors remain locked. The health and safety of our members, staff and visitors is our top priority. During the State of Emergency, our doors will remain locked to reduce the amount of people in our branches at any given time.

To ensure the health and well-being of our staff and our members, members experiencing flu-like symptoms or those who have recently traveled outside of the province will not be able to use our in-branch services. Please contact us by phone at (506) 855-ASCU, or email at administration@advancesavings.ca and we'd be happy to help with your banking needs.

Government Financial Relief Programs
Many Atlantic Canadians, including businesses, have been heavily impacted by the economic implications of COVID-19.

Numerous federal and provincial support programs have been announced in the past few weeks, but with so much information online, it can be hard to keep track of which programs are available and the eligibility requirements.

We’ve provided a reference list of both federal and provincial funding opportunities for Atlantic Canadians, with links to the official sources. Click here.
