We Serve Businesses of Every Size — In Any Business Climate

It’s been a challenging year for businesses to say the least. Those caught up in shutdowns are unable to provide goods and services, which makes it hard to keep staff, pay rent, and just plain hang on until things return to normal, whatever that might look like.

There are also many companies that have continued to operate, some at record levels. They’re facing other challenges: ramping up with new technologies to enable work from home or customer interactions; keeping up with increased demand while coping with supply chain disruptions; dealing with employee absences due to COVID-19.

At DUCA, we serve businesses of every size, from small- and medium-sized businesses to large commercial enterprises. Here are just some of the ways we can help your company.

Government loans. A great many businesses, even strong and successful ones, are in need of a helping hand from government programs. If you are accessing the Canadian Emergency Business Account (CEBA) loans program, we can facilitate your application.

Loans and lines of credit. Some companies urgently need to invest in technology to cope with the new realities of doing business. Others make a point of investing and expanding during tough times, in preparation for better days ahead. DUCA has always had a strong commercial lending business, based on our belief that helping companies achieve their full potential is good for enterprise and for communities.

Commercial mortgages. While more employees are working from home causing some offices to shrink, many businesses still require space for meetings, warehousing, processing and assembly, showrooms, and so forth. DUCA has a range of commercial mortgage products to suit your needs.

Contactless payments. Touchless services are more important in today’s safety-conscious world. If you accept payments directly from your customers, our partnership with Chase? merchant services gives you access to contactless payment technologies with cutting edge protections against fraud.

Business accounts. Scaling an account to the size of your business is key. We offer different types of accounts based on transaction levels, at highly attractive rates. In this time of remote working, we also make it easy to arrange Direct Deposits or Pre-Authorized Debits, so you can pay regular suppliers and receive payments more efficiently.

Savings and investments. Now more than ever, it’s important for businesses to make good use of any cash reserves they have. We offer a number of options designed especially for the needs of businesses.

Payroll services. We work with Desjardins Payroll & HR Services, one of Canada's largest providers of business solutions, to provide our business members with simple, seamless access to payroll administration.

At DUCA, we know how important it is to support Canadian-owned businesses of all sizes. We’re here to help you through the tough times, so you can get back to business during the better times ahead.
