# Desjardins Group

> Desjardins Group (Mouvement Desjardins) is the largest cooperative financial group in North America, founded in 1900 in Lévis, Quebec. It is a federation of member-owned caisses populaires (credit unions) — the Fédération des caisses Desjardins du Québec and its subsidiaries — regulated in Quebec by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), with roughly CAD $470 billion in assets and more than 7.8 million members and clients across personal, business, wealth-management, and insurance products.

## API availability

> Desjardins publishes no first-party public developer portal or downloadable API specification. developer.desjardins.com and other API-portal subdomains do not resolve, and api.desjardins.com returns no machine-readable contract (no OpenAPI/Swagger, GraphQL, AsyncAPI, or MCP surface was found on any host as of 2026-07-23). Consumer financial-data access is delivered today through third-party aggregators (Flinks, Plaid, Finicity, Tink) via aggregator/screen-scraping 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.
