WINNIPEG, Manitoba--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Conquest Planning Inc. (“Conquest”), a technology platform modernizing financial planning with customized and convenient advice, today announced an integration with Vancity, Canada's largest community credit union. With assets exceeding $34 billion, including assets under administration, Vancity is the first credit union to join forces with Conquest. As a result of this partnership, Conquest will integrate its cutting-edge digital financial planning tools into Vancity's services, potentially extending this valuable resource to its more than 560,000 members. This will further empower these individuals to take control of their financial futures.
The “Vancity Advice Plan” tool allows Vancity members to leverage Conquest’s software for the delivery of meaningful financial advice.
