How much do you know about Jamaican credit unions?

Jamaica Credit Unions are dedicated to carrying out the Mission that governs them. This Mission says:

Assignment

Jamaica Credit Unions are engaged in:

  • Improve the quality of life of its members and finance economic independence.
  • Provide a high level of financial services to members.
  • Offer competitive financial services to members.
  • Responsible advice to affiliates to ensure their savings and investments.
  • Perform with integrity in accordance with the Cooperative Societies Law and its regulations.
  • Respond to the needs of the community within the framework of the cooperative structure.

Unions operate on a very different platform than banks and that is why more and more Jamaicans are heading towards becoming “members”.

ALL the different unions in Jamaica are part of a movement that brings them under ONE umbrella. Here’s an overview of said move…

The Jamaican Credit Union Movement began with Father John P. Sullivan, who pioneered the creation of Jamaica’s first Credit Union: Sodality Co-operative Credit Union Ltd.

Today the Movement has grown to 38 unions located across the island, all represented by the umbrella brand, Credit Unions of Jamaica (CUJ), Your Path to Financial Freedom!
