The Beginning
The St. Kitts Co-operative Credit Union Limited started from the backroom of an office on Baker’s Corner where one of our founding members, who was the Managing Director of the Eastern Benevolent Society Mr. Lloyd Procope, freely accommodated the office. The organization first opened its doors in 1982 as the Basseterre Co-operative Credit Union with only 15 members and a volunteer Peace Corp officer to provide financial services. Two years later, it was renamed the St. Kitts Co-operative Credit Union.

New Street Development
Needing more space as the Credit Union experienced a growth spurt, the institution then moved upstairs the Gumbs and Isles Liquor Store on Fort Street and then to the second-floor office of Omax Gardner’s Building on New Street. A rental arrangement lasted for over last ten years as the Credit Union moved from one space to another in that building. After purchasing the building in September 12 1996, a plan of renovation was then undertaken to accommodate the ever-increasing membership as this building was situated right in the heart of the Capital of Basseterre and allowed little room for expansion.

Bladen Commercial Development
A modern Spacious Headquarters Building was officially opened on June 30, 2004. which boasted the first and only drive through ATM service in the Federation. First and only Drive Through Teller in 2004.
Drive through Financial Services
The first and only drive through facility in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis is operated by the St. Kitts Cooperative Credit Union. This concept is very similar to the drive through window at many of the big fast-food restaurants in the United States. The member drives up to the station and presents his/her deposit/withdrawal slip along with a valid picture ID, a passbook and then the transaction would be processed by a teller inside.
