Canada needs a postal bank. Thousands of rural towns and villages in our country do not have a bank, but many of them have a post office that could provide financial services. As well, nearly two million Canadians desperately need an alternative to payday lenders. A postal bank could be that alternative. Download and sign the petition urging the Government of Canada to instruct Canada Post to add postal banking, with a mandate for financial inclusion.

A week ago, CUPW members spoke loudly and rejected what Canada Post called its “best and final” offers.

CUPW launched its postal banking campaign with a giant inflatable piggy bank in downtown Ottawa.
