During the 1970s the divisions of the Barbados Workers' Union (BWU) called for the establishment of a Credit Union as a symbol of the progress of hardworking Barbadians. A number of resolutions were then taken at the Annual Conference calling for the society to be established, however, it was not until the 1980s that plans were put into place for the establishment of such an organisation. The inaugural meeting of the BWU Co-operative Credit Union Limited was held on Thursday December 10, 1981 and was attended by sixty-eight (68) persons-A savings society was then launched on February 09, 1983. The Credit Union was opened to receiving funds from Tuesday June 21, 1983 at the Barbados Workers' Union headquarters which was then located at the corner of Fairchild and Nelson Streets. The BWU Co-operative Credit Union Limited was registered as a Credit Union, on July 8, 1983-number 62 in Barbados. The first general meeting was held on Saturday July 23, 1983 at Unity House on Roebuck Street, when the first Board of Directors and other Elected Committees were established.
