Fifty-two years of member-owned banking, built one deposit at a time.
What began as a small savings circle among telecommunication technicians has grown into one of the most trusted cooperative financial institutions in the South West Region.
Telecommunication technicians at the automatic telephone exchange in Buea begin putting aside part of their income together.
The group is authorised to operate as a Credit Union, christened the Buea P&T Cooperative Credit Union (BPTCCU).
BPTCCUL becomes registered with CamCCUL and accredited by MINFI and COBAC, the Banking Commission for Central African States.
BPTCCUL becomes the first Credit Union in Fako authorised to pay Civil Servants' salaries directly through the Union.
