Ready to escort customers into a prosperous future
FIRST HERITAGE Cooperative Credit Union Limited (FHC) stands boldly among credit unions as a shining example of prudence and cooperative financial management. Formed from a partnership in 2012 between the Churches Co-operative Credit Union and GSB Cooperative Credit Union, the FHC Credit Union is truly the epitome of a ‘strong legacy’. With over 100 years of a rich heritage between the foundation organisations, the FHC’S success came as no surprise. Through this milestone merger, along with the addition of the St Thomas Co-operative Credit Union in 2015, FHC is now the largest open bond credit union in Jamaica, and has continued to establish high standards of service to its customers.
A testament to First Heritage Co-operative Credit Union’s success is its dedication to providing financial service to Jamaicans of all backgrounds. The credit union has committed its entire work towards helping Jamaicans achieve their financial goals, whether through advanced investment tools or simpler products for those who are just starting their financial journey. With a membership of over 200,000, the First Heritage Co-operative Credit Union is well under way in creating financial security and fiscal awareness for future generations.
The 10th anniversary’s theme, ‘Power up! Strong Legacy ... Embracing New Frontiers’, is appropriate as the credit union is energised to continue to add value in an ever-changing financial landscape. The global financial atmosphere is dynamic, and adequate preparation must be made to meet the challenges and changes as they arise.
As industry leaders, the First Heritage Co-operative Credit Union has demonstrated that they are fit and ready to escort their customers into a bright and prosperous future. I, therefore, congratulate the organisation for a decade of strong fiscal management and convey best wishes for a future full of continued innovation and development.
HIS EXCELLENCY THE MOST HON SIR PATRICK ALLEN, ON, GCMG, CD, KSTJ Governor General
