About First Heritage Co-operative Credit Union Limited (FHCCU)

FHCCU represents a “Legacy of Transformation”. On August 1, 2012, Churches Co-operative Credit Union and GSB Co-operative Credit Union merged to form the new entity First Heritage Co-operative Credit Union Limited (FHCCU). This decision culminated the process of discussions that began in October 2010 when the idea of the amalgamation of the two Credit Unions was born. Born out of a spirit of co-operation between existing church-based Credit Unions at Redeemer Moravian, All Saints Anglican and Lyndhurst Methodist, Churches Co-operative Credit Union (CCCU) was established in 1971 and has been a member of the Jamaica Co-operative Credit Union League since 1977. On October 26, 1944, 22 members of staff of the Government Savings Bank met to study the rules of the Co-operative Movement as a positive response to the urging of the Jamaica Co-operative Credit Union League, with the aim of founding a Credit Union. GSB Clerks Co-operative Credit Union was then formed and registered on July 2, 1946 under the Industrial and Provident Societies Law. On March 1, 2015, the business and operations of St. Thomas Co-operative Credit Union Limited was transferred to FHCCU. This merger was borne out of a mutual strategic vision of expanding Agriculture/Micro and Small Business lending to assist farmers and cultivate entrepreneurship across rural Jamaica. With a combined heritage of over 100 years, First Heritage Cooperative Credit Union Limited now stands as one of the top open bond Credit Unions in Jamaica.
