Caisse Desjardins du Pekuakami is a regional credit union (caisse populaire) serving communities around Lac Saint-Jean (Lake Saint John) in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Canada. The name "Pekuakami" is the indigenous Innu word for Lac Saint-Jean, meaning "flat lake." As part of the Desjardins Group, the largest cooperative financial institution in North America, this caisse provides comprehensive personal and business banking services to members in the Lac-Saint-Jean area. The caisse operates as a member-owned financial cooperative where account holders have democratic voting rights and share in surplus earnings through patronage dividends.
