Our Solution

The costs involved with a university education climb higher every year and the options are bleak. Big financial institutions offer prosaic solutions absent of intimate understanding of what university students really need and students are left without financial savvy over their money or burdened with debt.

These are big problems that require a big change. The Waterloo Banking Project is a student founded, student operated, and student-centric financial institution addressing the financial woes of university students. We marry an intimate knowledge of the needs and concerns of university students with a mission statement based around benevolence.

The Waterloo Banking Project keeps costs low and involvement high by attracting the right support, network, and participants who not only share a passion for university education but who want to enfranchise those who currently attend it. Join the change that students need. Join the Waterloo Banking Project.
