Named in the notes

Issuers our Ontario notes name

An issuer is marked regional only where the line quoted from its source ties who may join, or where it operates, to Ontario. Being based or big here is not that: an issuer named for its headquarters or size may lend nationwide, and its own page states who can apply.

“Meridian is the second largest credit union in Canada, and the largest credit union in Ontario, with more than 378,000 members with total assets under administration of over $28.5 billion.”
