A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT, JAMAICA CO-OPERATIVE CREDIT LEAGUE (JCCUL)
A happy International Credit Union Day to all members and wellwishers. This is indeed a red letter day in the life of the international Credit Union movement which is celebrated against the backdrop of the Covid19 pandemic. Appropriately the theme for this year’s celebration is “Inspiring Hope for a Global Community.” This exemplifies the role of the movement to its members and the hope which credit unions and other affiliated organizations must offer to their stakeholders and constituents to enable them to navigate this storm, with the sure knowledge that with the help of their Credit Union they will rebound and flourish at the end of this pandemic.
The Jamaican Credit Union Movement is an integral part of the Jamaican financial landscape, and is a valued member of an impressive worldwide organization that has a total membership of 223 million individuals who belong to 60,500 Credit Unions in 118 countries across the world.
Our Movement which started 79 years ago, boasts membership of just over 1 million hard working Jamaicans who regard their Credit Union as their financial institution of choice because they are well run, solid and provide the pathway to financial freedom and independence.
I salute Credit Union members for their continued faith in us as we continue to provide personalized professional service. During this pandemic we remain committed to providing innovative products with excellent rates on savings and loans.
We are not just celebrating International Credit Union Day, but a whole week of activities. However being responsible corporate citizens we have scaled back on our person to person activities. But we will remain visible in the electronic media, the press and social media. But more importantly we are steadfast in being your sanctuary and place of refuge in this Covid19 storm not just for your finance , but your emotional wellbeing and happiness as we continue to inspire hope.
Thanks to our esteemed volunteers, our experienced members of staff and managers of Credit Unions as you continue to Inspire Hope for Jamaicans and by extension the global community.
May God continue to bless the Movement and give hope and peace to our beloved country.
