Happy Independence Day Members and all Dominicans. Enjoy and stay blessed. 

"Building a Brighter Future Together".

On behalf of the Board of Directors, the  Supervisory and Compliance Committee, Credit Committee, Management and staff of the National Co-operative Credit union Ltd., I bring greetings to the government and people of Dominica on the occasion of our 39th anniversary of Independence. 

The theme for this year "Building a Brighter Future Together" fittingly calls us  as Dominicans to look beyond Hurricane Maria to a brighter future.

We can and we will build a brighter future for Dominica, and generations to come. 

To realise this "brighter future"  we must unite and work diligently  contributing  our time, talent, energy and vision to the rebuilding of our beautiful country Dominica.

NCCU is committed to assisting members to rebuilding safer, stronger and more resilient and to playing a leading role in the post Maria reconstruction process.  

We are well positioned to do this under the NCCU umbrella of seven Branches  and  our credit union philosophy of "People Helping People."

 We thank our members, volunteers and staff and look forward to their continued support as we strive to enhance the quality of life of NCCU members

Happy Independence valued NCCU members and all Dominicans.  May the Good Lord continue to bless this "Isle so Rich and Fair" 

"Be joyful always; pray continually and give thanks in all circumstances,...."
