Premier financial service provider

CONGRATULATIONS TO the directors, employees and members of the Public Sector Employers Co-operative Credit Union (PSECCU) on celebrating 50 years of outstanding Service.

Since inception in May 1968, the PSECCU has undergone several changes in its structure and name in order to better equip itself to meet the needs of its customers, and has indeed evolved in its reach and quality of service.

Today, the credit union stands as a premier financial service provider catering to more than 8,600 customers, having begun its operations with just 70 members. I also applaud the company’s financial growth, having recorded $2.1 billion in total assets as at December 2017 and a savings portfolio of more than $1.3 billion. The PSECCU is indeed making strides.

Through the affordable terms and conditions and wide range of products provided, our credit unions also help to stimulate local investment.

I applaud the outstanding service of PSECCU in this regard and take this opportunity, on the company’s golden anniversary, to wish the directors, staff and members continued success, even as the PSECCU continues to be a major partner and participant in the Government’s overall growth agenda.
