Seven

Cooperative Principles

Voluntary and Open Membership

Credit union are open to all without gender, social, racial, political, or religious discrimination. You may join, or leave at any time. Everyone is Welcome!

Democratic Control

One member, one vote. Cooperatives are democratic organizations owned and controlled by their members, one member one vote, with equal opportunity for participation in setting policies and making decisions. Members elect the board of directors

Members' and Economic Participation

Our members are the owners. Owners contribute equitably to, the capital of the cooperative. The economic benefits of a cooperative operation are returned to the members, reinvested in credit unions or used to provide services that benefit the owners. Each member owns the business

Autonomy and Independence

Cooperatives are autonomous, self-help organizations controlled by their Owners. Together, you are autonomous.

Education, Training and Information

Credit unions place particular importance on educational opportunities for their volunteer directors, and financial education for their members and the public, especially the nation’s youth. Credit unions also recognize the importance of ensuring the general public and policy makers are informed about the nature, structure and benefits of cooperatives. Share, learn and grow

Cooperation Among Cooperatives

Cooperatives serve their Owners most effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, regional, national and international structures. You are more successful when you cooperate with others who know how to cooperate. Together we achieve more

Concern for Community

While focusing on Owner needs, Credit Unions work for the sustainable development of their communities through policies accepted by their Owners. You can do something for the community even as you keep succeeding. Building strong communities

National Workers Cooperative Credit Union

I am extremely grateful for the Bahamas Cooperative League and their mission to give back to our community by way of investing in education of students. This scholarship has made life much easier for me as I was able to use it towards my semester fees, textbooks and summer classes.

Jamie Emmanuel

2015 Scholarship Recipient

In the Christmas season of 2009, I lost my home to a devastating fire. I went to all the banks to assist me with a loan to rebuild. When the banks said no, the Credit Union said Yes!
