The Communal Credit Union launches what it dubs its Emerald Anniversary, marking its 55th year on 19 October, with an interesting twist to reach young people ready to start a business or those whose businesses needs, a boost for success.

The credit union says all members and prospective members are welcome, but the target drive is to get the often most marginalised group in society on board, with a programme for building their financial future.

The aim is to establish incubator-type businesses, providing financial advice and side by side growth help to all who qualify.

Noting the major milestones achieved thus far, the General Manager, Lydia Courtney-Francis says that Communal Credit Union will continue to upgrade its services and offerings at a time when the movement worldwide is modernising to meet the demands of a changing user group: those who use or prefer mobile financial technology.

Manager at Communal’s newly established Business Centre in Grand Anse, Kimberly Andrews, introduced the loan provision. Sherene Thomas, Marketing and Communication Officer spoke about the ways Communal reinvests in the lives of its members and the community at large. “It is a special moment for The Communal with a few of the inaugural board members still around from that first meeting, 55 years ago on Tyrell Street, now HA Blaize Street, in St George’s.”

    Congratulations to the Communal co-operation Credit Union and your hard working team. I am really amazed at the milestones which you have covered over these years.
    I remember when I became a member. It has been over forty years and at that time I dont think thst anyone would have imagined that this magnitude of advancement especially in the technological space would have happened.
    I feel proud to be still a member of an organization whose main priority is developing its people. Happy 55th birthday CCU.
