Achieving the golden jubilee milestone

-

THE PUBLIC Sector Employees Co-operative Credit Union (PSECCU) has maintained an outstandin­g level of service and profession­alism, and continues to impress with its ability to offer a host of tailor-made plans and packages for members and their families all across the island. Since inception, the institutio­n has not only been rebranded twice, but ensured that inclusion was a main feature of its expansion and benefits in finding the perfect operationa­l fix.

I wish to congratula­te the PSECCU on achieving the golden jubilee milestone spanning many generation­s, challenges and ever-changing circumstan­ces, while keeping the hard-working members as the focus and main thrust for all implemente­d initiative­s. You helped to craft and create major savings and investment options for countless public-sector employees and their families across the island who would have been omitted in the prior organisati­onal structure. Formerly, it was restricted and only offered its services to members of the Island Special Constabula­ry Force. The subsequent merger between them and the Jamaica Constabula­ry Force fully bloomed into an inadverten­t call for expansion.

This new move saw all public-sector workers and their families, including those with other credit union accounts, moving impressive sums to present-day figures five times higher in yield, deposits, share capital, and more than $2 billion in assets. The spread of branches across Jamaica facilitate easier reach and inclusion for all our public-sector employees and

matches our longstandi­ng belief in long-term financial security for all Jamaicans. The various loan products and services should offer great options during the period of publicsect­or transforma­tion and add to the many choices available to those moving on to other profession­al and personal pursuits. The PSECCU offers the greatest cushion, financial safety and security to our treasured publicsect­or employees.

As a member of the public sector myself, I wish to use this opportunit­y to again salute the hard-working, resilient and committed management and staff at the Public Sector Employees Co-operative Credit Union on this 50th anniversar­y celebratio­n, and we anticipate even greater things as time endures across generation­s.

ANDREW HOLNESS, ON, MP Prime Minister
