Stride Credit Union expands into Carberry, Purchasing Property on Main Street

Stride Credit Union is pleased to announce the purchase of an established building in Carberry, located on Main Street. The acquisition marks Stride’s first physical location in the community and represents a long-term investment in Carberry’s continued growth and prosperity.

“Stride has a strong member base in and around Carberry, and when we learned that a major bank would be stepping back from personal banking services, we recognized a clear opportunity – not only to better serve those we already call members, but to expand our exceptional service to more residents in the Carberry area,” said Brent Budz, CEO, Stride Credit Union.

The purchase of the building follows Stride’s ongoing commitment to strengthen access to modern, community-focused financial services throughout rural Manitoba. Planning and design work for the new Carberry branch will begin immediately, with updates on timelines and renovation details to follow in the months ahead. The building will also include space dedicated to enhanced financial planning and wealth management services, courtesy of Journey Wealth.

“Journey Wealth is excited to be expanding into Carberry and we look forward to welcoming new and existing clients to the new office in the summer of 2026. Our team is always ready to help set you up with insurance, investments, succession planning and more to assist with your financial journey,” said Kris Lee, VP, Wealth Management, Journey Wealth. 

Mayor Ray Muirhead welcomed the announcement, noting the significance of continued investment in Carberry’s downtown. “On behalf of the Town of Carberry, I’m thrilled to see Stride Credit Union investing in our community,” said Mayor Muirhead. “Carberry is growing and evolving, and the addition of a new financial institution on Main Street demonstrates confidence in our future. We look forward to working together to ensure this project benefits residents, businesses, and the broader region.”

Stride Credit Union currently serves more than 20,000 members across Southern Manitoba with a strong focus on personalized service, community investment, and cooperative values. The Carberry location will mark Stride’s sixth branch, complementing its existing footprint in Neepawa, Austin, MacGregor, Portage la Prairie, and Gladstone.
