The North Shore Credit Union is a large credit union based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The head office of NSCU is located at 1112 Lonsdale Avenue, North Vancouver, BC V7M 2H2.

The North Shore Credit Union is one of the larger credit unions in Canada with over 38000 members as of December, 2005 and $1.8 billion in assets under administration. This places it at #17 in the Credit Union Central of Canada (http://www.cucentral.ca/) rankings for credit unions in Canada for 2006.

Operating as a full service financial institution for its members, the organization has branches throughout the Lower Mainland of British Columbia and in Squamish, Whistler, and Pemberton.

One of the ways in which NCSU serves smaller communities is by placing automated banking machines (known as "automated teller machines" or "ATMs" in the United States) where a branch would not be viable. The island community of Bowen Island, is one such community.

Canadians have the largest per capita membership in credit unions, with over 10 million members (30% of the population).
