ANTONIO WRIGHT – TEACHER

“I have been a member of First Regional Credit Union for over 17 years. Over the years, I have accessed both loan and savings products. I have used the loans to enhance my education which has helped me to further my career.

I have used the loans to fund business ventures and it has also aided recovery from natural disasters, like Hurricane Ivan. The customer service from the Highgate branch has been superb. With me, First Regional has a member for life.”

DEMAR MCKENZIE – MEDICAL STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WEST INDIES

Since joining First Regional Cooperativ­e Credit Union, I have had world-class experience­s of customer service across the board. The staff at the credit union are very courteous and genuinely care about your concerns, making every effort to help solve problems through the various services offered.

Growing up in an underprivi­leged family has not only offered financial and academic challenges, but has also helped me to realise the true value of getting an education. First Regional Co-operative Credit Union has not only acknowledg­ed the need to assist me in achieving my goals but has started an initiative that will undoubtedl­y leave an indelible mark on my life, as well as many other scholars. I currently have a longterm savings account at the credit union and was able to get assistance from their tertiary-level bursary programmes.

In my deepest and darkest moments what really got me through were simple words of prayers, most times “Thank you, I leave all things in your hands”, but this time my prayer was “Help!” First Regional Co-operative Credit Union was only one prayer away. I can proudly say that I am a recipient of their 2017/2018 Tertiary-Level Bursary, among many others from primary and secondary school level, which has given me a ray of hope as I strive for success. I am a fourthyear medical student at the University of the West Indies pursuing a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) in the faculty of Medical Sciences, and the credit union has helped me in putting my best life forward as I maximize my potential.

For those joining the credit union, you have made the best possible choice. It is the place with solutions to fit your budget. Utilise the plans and reap the benefits.

First Regional Co-operative Credit Union has proven to me that they not only give me interest on my money, but indeed show interest in me. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to them for their generosity, and I truly hope that they will continue to be the light to those in the shadows of the dark. You shall forever be in my heart.

MARIE REID – BUSINESS WOMAN

First Regional Co-operative Credit Union is basically home to me when it comes on to getting cash. We have become a family, the staff are exceptiona­l and have become my family. I am building my dream house and the Credit Union came to my rescue helping me to be able to take care of my expenses. They are convenient and friendly to deal with. Thank you First Regional.

EUGENE GENE – TOUR OPERATOR

I remember checking around at other banks trying to get a loan to purchase a bus, I had $500,000 and they said I needed more collateral. I went to the Credit Union in St. Ann’s Bay and they approved my loan for $1,500,000. I was able to purchase my bus and since then I have recommende­d the credit union to other people and have taken a second loan, a third loan and enjoyed the benefits. This is my bank, Credit Union is a family to me. They do to me what only my mother alone would do. They are like mother; always looking out for their children.

SENATOR FLOYD MORRIS

“I am a foundation member of First Regional Co-operative Credit Union when it began in St Mary in the early 1970S. It is the Credit Union that I have saved with over the years and I am a proud and highly satisfied member.”
