Governance of Credit Co-ops

Code of Governance for Credit Co-ops careers-list-arrow

Members of credit co-ops consist of individuals who have entrusted their hard-earned savings to credit co-ops and expect their deposits and interests to be safeguarded. Good governance is thus important as it seeks to safeguard credit co-ops’ members’ deposits and maintain members’ confidence and trust. Good governance, when practised by credit co-ops’ top leadership, will enable a more resilient, effective and prudent organisation.
