The Desjardins
difference
With 42,000 employees, we are Québec’s largest private employer
and among the top 20 employers in Canada. Thanks to nearly 2,000
service centres across the country, some 6 million customers
can rely on Desjardins to provide all their banking needs under one
roof. In Québec’s financial sector alone, we possess the largest
network of automated teller machines (ATM), as well as the largest
advisory force for individuals and businesses.
International
presence
Our exceptional service doesn’t stop at the border - some
service centres can be found in the United States, and we have a
presence on international financial markets, including a network of
banking correspondents in many countries. They meet the needs of
foreign investors, importers or exporters, and globetrotting
businesspeople like you.
Desjardins also has affiliations with international financial
groups, including the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA), the
International Co-operative Banking Association (ICBA), the
International Co-operative and Mutual Insurance Federation (ICMIF)
and the International Confederation of Popular Banks (CIBP).
