Greetings from the SWCU Board & Staff.
No doubt, Members are aware by now, that government (MOH) has declared COVID19 restrictions on all operations and meetings classified as non-essential due to worsening coronavirus infections in the country. ....
A group of Fiji Public Service Association (FPSA) members met at the Association’s Headquarters at Waimanu Road,Suva under the leadership of the FPSA General Secretary, Bro Rajeshwar Singh to lay the foundations of a Credit Union.
The name ‘Service Worker Credit Union’ (SWCU) was suggested by the General Secretary. Learning from experiences over the years and the need to bring benefits to the members, Bro Singh succeeded in convincing a group of members to launch the Credit Union which is now firmly located within the FPSA premises with good amenities.
The Credit Union Act specifies that Credit Unions objectives are to promote savings and loans among members. Credit Unions are also allowed to invest in stocks and securities, borrow money and purchase or lease land. Credit Unions have the authority to charge entrance fee of members, receive savings as payments of shares or as deposits, and make loans to members for productive purposes. In practice, they are focused on collecting shares from members through salary deductions. Members are then allowed to modestly leverage their shares and borrow money, mostly for consumer purposes. Interest rates are capped at one percent per month, or twelve percent annually.
