| 6% Dividend Paid on Member Share Capital |
|
The approval of a 6% dividend on Member Share Capital (MSC) was among the highlights of the Society's recently held 57th Annual General Meeting (AGM) which was held at theConference Room of the Public Service Union on Wednesday, June 25, 2008. This is the first dividend payout by the Society since MSC was introduced on December 29, 2006. The rate of 6% is the maximum allowed by the Cooperative Societies Regulations S.R.O. 26 of 2001, which allows cooperative societies to pay dividends up to 3% above the savings rate set by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB). Dividend payments were made to all members' accounts on June 30, 2008. It is expected that the payment of this attractive rate will encourage members to invest further in their credit union by buying more shares for building the Society's capital.
