About St. Kitts Co-operative Credit Union

St. Kitts Co-operative Credit Union Limited (SKCU) is one of the largest and most established member-owned financial cooperatives in Saint Kitts and Nevis. It was originally founded in 1982 as the Basseterre Co-operative Credit Union with only 15 members, and later expanded island-wide, adopting the current name as membership grew. Unlike commercial banks, SKCU operates on a cooperative ownership model, meaning members are also owners. Its focus is on helping members build savings, access affordable loans, own homes, finance vehicles, and improve long-term financial wellbeing rather than maximizing shareholder profit.
