[4] The head office of Desjardins Financial Security is in Lévis, Quebec, and has branches in several cities across Canada, including Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax and St.

They were the first ones in Quebec to offer what they call in French caissassurance[9] (union credit assurance), a service where customers can meet a financial security advisor at any caisse populaire who can offer them insurance products[10] (possible since the Act Respecting the Distribution of Financial Products and Services).

[12] These services are offered through representatives, brokers, sales offices, caisses, online and through their mobile app.

[15] In 2009, following an organizational restructuring, their operations and corporative functions were incorporated by Desjardins Group, who wanted to reinforce the cohesion and the efficacy of its company and subsidiaries.
