Fusion Credit Union is thanking members in a big way. At the Annual General Meeting held April 15, 2026 via webcast conference, Fusion announced a $1.86 million return to members in the form of patronage allocations and cash pay-outs to select members. The $1.86 million in total returns for 2026, based on 2025 results, includes a patronage allocation of $775,000, plus an estimated $1 million in cash payouts.
“Our members are more than customers - they’re owners - and the driving force behind everything we do,” states Darwin Johns, Chief Executive Officer at Fusion Credit Union. “The $1.86 million is one of the ways we thank our members for their continued loyalty to us.”
A patronage allocation is a value returned to a member of Fusion Credit Union based on their relationship with the credit union. The patronage amount is a portion of interest paid and earned during the past year and varies from
member to member. All patronage allocations are retained in a Surplus Share Account and select member groups receive cash payouts.
As a member-owned financial institution, Fusion’s success is directly tied to the strength of its members and communities. Patronage allocations and cash payouts ensure that investment is shared locally, supporting individuals, families, farms and businesses. “When our members choose Fusion, they’re choosing to invest in their communities,” says Johns. “And when Fusion succeeds, the success stays right here – supporting local growth, opportunity and connection.”
