The next major landmark was the take-over of McAL by the ANSA Group in December 1986 and the new conglomerate of ANSA McAL was born along with ANSA McAL Group Employees Credit Union.
This brought an immediate increase in the membership with members of the several Standard stores nationwide, together with Standard Equipment, Crown Industries, Bell Furniture Industries and some other small companies.
By this time, the total membership had reached over 3,500 members and the Credit Union’s office was then relocated to the “Stokes & Bynoe” Building in Mount Hope, which we have occupied since August 2000.
We purchased our first property at No 4 Borde Street, Port of Spain, which was one of the focal points of the 50th Anniversary “Celebrating the Golden Jubilee” as relocation was accomplished early March 2006 and coincided with the very month of our birthday, and of course, we were happy to have Mr Job still present with us to share our pride.
The services offered by our Credit Union have also expanded greatly over the years and our loan portfolio now includes loans for:
Education/University
Home/Land Purchases
Renovations
Motor Vehicles
Household Appliances
Medial Expenses and other productive purposes
Our office staff has increased to effectively and efficiently handle all the needs and requirements of our total membership and our operations have matured from hand-written Ledger Books, to NCR accounting machines to the current fully computerised CUMIS system.
Our Mission
A Co-operative providing financial and other services which support the socio-economic and educational needs of all our stakeholders and customers through our valued staff
