The spirit of "je me souviens" is alive at Mouvement des caisses Desjardins (aka Desjardins Group), but Quebec's largest financial institution faces modern bank competition. Founded in 1900 to serve working-class Quebecois, the company runs more than 500 local cooperatives (caisses populaires) and credit unions (caisses d'economie) that provide retail financial services through about 900 service centers in Quebec. It has more than 5.5 million members. Desjardins Group also operates caisses in Francophone communities in Ontario, New Brunswick, and Manitoba. The company's offerings include loans, credit cards, and savings accounts, as well as insurance, investment funds, securities brokerage, and asset management.
