Caisse Hydro, a Desjardins Group cooperative.

My caisse Hydro is:
  • A financial institution offering a full range of products and services exclusively for current and retired Hydro-Québec employees and their families.
  • A caisse that meets my needs, guided by a board of directors made up of Hydro-Québec employees who base their decisions on what’s best for me.
  • A team from all financial fields (insurance, securities, business services, etc.) to support me in all my endeavours. Wherever I am, I get fast, reliable, personalized service!
  • A cooperative that relies on the collective strength of a group of workers: the more people put their trust in the caisse, the more advantages I get!
