We only operate in Saskatchewan. People come before profits and Affinity is dedicated to looking out for your financial health by offering great products, competitive rates and genuine, professional advice. When you deposit money at Affinity, it gets reinvested into your community as loans that other members can use to buy homes, start businesses, get educated, and put other dreams into reach. Affinity members make our profits possible and, for that reason, those profits get reinvested into the community. Because Affinity is a provincial organization, employees can work in many different locations for many different departments. Right here in Porcupine Plain, we have employees that work for five different departments. Affinity has a wide range of employment opportunities, such as member advisors, accounting, wealth, HR, IT and facilities, to name a few.
