Mission Statement
The St. Lucia Civil Service Co-operative Credit Union
will provide quality financial and related services to meet the
needs of members, through effective member participation and mobilization
of their resources, to ensure continued growth and development.
History
The early sixties saw the birth of the Credit Union’s
Office at the corner of the desk of Berinus Jn. Baptiste.
By the early seventies, the “Office” had graduated to the Conference
Room of the Co-operative Department 79 Chaussee Road. There
we operated for a rental fee until 1992, when we built our own building
which we named, the Berinus Jn. Baptiste Building.
By 1999 our organization had grown extensively and
office space had become so limited that our team of highly confident
Directors took the very courageous step of purchasing better facilities.
Today, the Credit Union owns the Fitz Gerald Louisy Building primely
located at another corner, this time at the junction of Jeremie
Street, Chaussee & Trinity Church Roads. This facility
comes with space for present and future operations.
