Caisse Desjardins de Nicolet was founded on January 15, 1922. Over the years, the caisse went through many changes which led it to merge with Caisse populaire de Ste-Monique in December 1998. In September 1999, the caisse created the Desjardins Business–Bécancour- Nicolet-Yamaska with the help of 7 other local caisses.

The caisse then merged with Caisse populaire de La Baie in Decembre 2001, Caisse populaire des Deux-Rives in January 2012 and Caisse populaire du Bas-Saint-François in January 2013. This resulted in the creation of a single caisse for the entire Nicolet, Baie-du-Febvre, Grand-Saint-Esprit, La-Visitation-de-Yamaska, Sainte-Monique, Sainte-Perpétue, Saint-Elphège, Saint-Zéphirin-de-Courval and Bas-Saint-François area.

Caisse Desjardins de Nicolet has nearly 17,511 members and assets of nearly $499 million.

It also employs 54 people and around 30 others at the Desjardins Business–Bécancour-Nicolet-Yamaska, in which all Desjardins regional experts meet the needs of businesses.

In addition, 13 directors elected by members and member representatives and 1 intern director make up the Board of Directors.
