Amos Sakyi, the Ashanti Regional Director of Cooperatives, has urged credit union members to remain cautious in their dealings with mobile bankers and to retain control of their contribution (susu) books. Speaking at the 27th Annual General Meeting of the St. Joseph the Worker Cooperative Credit Union, Sakyi highlighted the significance of these books in protecting members' savings and investments.
Mobile bankers play a vital role in extending financial services to those who cannot frequent branch offices regularly. However, Sakyi cautioned against complacency, warning that some mobile bankers may be tempted to manipulate the figures, potentially undermining the trust between members and the credit union. He emphasized the importance of professionalism in the cooperative sector and the crucial role credit unions play in advancing financial inclusion, particularly in the Greater Accra and Ashanti Regions.
The St. Joseph the Worker Credit Union, ranked third in the Ashanti Region and 19th nationwide, continues to make a substantial impact on its members' lives through share acquisition and a culture of savings.
