About COK Sodality Co-operative Credit Union Ltd. (COKCU)

Incorporated in 1967, with 13 members and JMD $120 in shares, City of Kingston Co-operative Credit Union Limited was founded to offer membership to everyday residents of the local community who were not a part of certain restricted professions or church groups. In 2009, the City of Kingston Co-operative Credit Union merged with the Sodality Co-operative Credit Union and COK Sodality Co-operative Credit Union Limited was born. By means of this merger, many additional membership criteria were added which translated into COKCU being able to say proudly that it now enjoys the largest membership among all credit unions in Jamaica and in the English-speaking Caribbean. COK celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2017, with more than 280,000 members and in excess of JMD $9.2 Billion in assets.
