Congratulations to Peje West CU on the successful hosting of its 4th Annual General Meeting (AGM) over the weekend.

The success of every credit union is built on the active participation of its members. Together, members celebrate achievements, review progress, make important decisions, and shape the future of their CU.

Because in a credit union, you’re not just a member you are an owner, you have a voice, and you are part of a family committed to improving lives through cooperation.
