What is the CCU?
The Communal Co-operative Credit Union has been in existence since 1964. It is a nonprofit organization established for providing a safe place for its members to save money and access loans as reasonable rates.
The members are the owners of the Credit Union, each member as an owner has all the rights and privileges regardless of his/her share holdings. With the continued growth of the Communal, we have over the last number of years established branches at Carriacou, Gouyave in St. John’s, Perdmontemps in St. David’s and The Esplanade Mall, down town St. George's. Our head office is located at 414 H.A. Blaize Street, St. George’s.
