BCNPHA has partnered with Vancity and Coast Capital credit unions to provide BCNPHA members opportunities to increase their earnings by pooling their operating accounts into one large pool with other non-profit societies, making your society eligible for better interest rates. Increased interest income combined with low service charges, 100 percent cash liquidity and a quick enrollment process make PIE a great choice!
The collective Vancity pool is now over $400 million, with BCNPHA, the Co-operative Housing Federation of BC and Realize Co-op working together to aggregate member accounts.
The PIE program has allowed Victoria Cool Aid Society to earn interest about what the chartered banks were willing to provide for fixed-income investments. Because the funds are accessible at any time, it has allowed Cool Aid to hold a higher operating cash balance than if the funds were locked in, also helping us earn a higher income. This income, which is unrestricted, supports important staff development and appreciation initiatives.
