Embracing our roots. Committing to the future.

The three trees symbol has been the cornerstone of Kawartha Credit Union’s visual identity for decades. More than just a logo, they symbolize our strong roots – firmly planted in our communities – and our branches, which extend into these communities to support our members' financial success.


These trees also embody the beauty of our region and the lifestyle it affords to our dedicated employees and members. Our Three Trees Referral Program reaffirms our commitment to the environment and ensures that we do our part to sustain this beauty and lifestyle for generations to come.
