About PCCU
History
Antigua and Barbuda Police Cooperative Credit Union was established in 1954 by the then Chief of Police, the late Mr. Edmund Blaize, who was also a committed and dedicated catholic. The Roman Catholic Church was instrumental in introducing the cooperative movement in Antigua and Barbuda, in the 1050’s. Mr. Blaize saw the need to establish a Credit Union within the Police Force, which allowed the Officers to achieve their financial goals, through savings and loan opportunities.
The Credit Union after 64 unbroken years of service to the Royal Police Force and their families, opened its doors to the general public, offering multiple services to its members. This small organization which started with respectable numbers has now expanded to over 1000 members with an asset base of over 10 million ECD.
