Bonus Share Features

It pays to bank at DUCA. Let the Bonus Shares work for you just by doing business with DUCA.

  • A portion of DUCA's net income will be paid in Bonus Shares each year. This will be determined by the financial activity that the member has transacted during the year.
  • Your existing Bonus Shares will earn a return each year, based on the Bonus Share balance at December 31st of the previous year.
  • Everyone who joins DUCA is eligible to earn Bonus Shares. Only members can earn Bonus Shares. Additional shares cannot be purchased.
  • Annual statements will indicate the total value of your Bonus Shares.
  • Shares are transferable to another party only with Board approval.
  • Bonus Shares are part of the equity of the credit union. Redemption of these shares is only possible up to a legal limit of no more than 10% of the total Shares outstanding for all members in any one year, on a first-come first-served basis.
  • Shares cannot be redeemed in the year of issue. Shares can be redeemed in subsequent years to the year of issue as follows:

    50% of face value in year 2
    60% of face value in year 3
    70% of face value in year 4
    80% of face value in year 5
    90% of face value in year 6
    100% of face value in year 7 and subsequent years.

"When I got that first Bonus Share cheque in the mail, I couldn't believe it. I held onto it for 3 months to show it off to my friends back in Ottawa. It gave me such joy to be rewarded by my credit union."
