Our History

1965 – The Vision Takes Root

BET Co-operative Credit Union Ltd was founded on April 6, 1965, when ten visionary employees of Cable & Wireless—R. Darlington Marshall, Benard King, Colbourne Walters, Roger Yarde, Trevor Alleyne, Mark McConney, Neville Bayley, Victor Reid, Courtney Bramao, and Sister Jean Alleyne—came together to establish a Savings Society. Their aim was clear: to create a financial institution that would give its members greater access to savings and affordable credit.

1966 – A Credit Union is Born

Just over a year later, on September 16, 1966, the fledgling society was officially registered as BET Co-operative Credit Union Ltd. At its inception, the credit union had 75 registered members and a share capital of $75,000—marking the beginning of its journey in community-focused financial empowerment.

2012 – A New Home

A major milestone came in 2012 with the relocation to our current headquarters in Belleville. This modern facility provided a more comfortable and accessible environment for our growing membership, reinforcing our commitment to member service and community presence.

Today – Empowering Every Step

Today, BET Co-operative Credit Union Ltd continues to thrive. With an expanded membership and a suite of innovative offerings—such as our Line of Credit facility and Health Insurance options—we remain steadfast in our mission of “people helping people.” Our journey is one of ongoing growth, guided by our founding vision and dedicated to uplifting our members and strengthening the community.
