  Desjardins Group (Mouvement Desjardins) is the largest cooperative financial
  group in North America, founded in 1900 in Lévis, Quebec by Alphonse
  Desjardins. It is a federation of caisses populaires (member-owned credit
  unions) rather than a share-capital chartered bank, comprising the Fédération
  des caisses Desjardins du Québec and its subsidiaries, the caisses in Quebec
  and the Caisse Desjardins Ontario Credit Union, regulated in Quebec by the
  Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF). It holds roughly CAD $470 billion in
  assets and serves more than 7.8 million members and clients with personal,
  business, wealth-management and insurance products. On open finance,
  Desjardins publishes no first-party public developer portal or downloadable
  API specification; developer.desjardins.com and other API-portal subdomains do
  not resolve, and consumer financial-data access is delivered today through
  third-party aggregators (Flinks, Plaid, Finicity, Tink) via
  screen-scraping/aggregator connectivity rather than a documented Desjardins
  API. Canada's Consumer-Driven Banking (open-banking) framework is legislated
  (Budget 2024/2025, overseen by the FCAC) but not yet operational; as a
  cooperative outside the Big Six, Desjardins may opt in to Phase 1 rather than
  being mandated.
