ECU Australia - everyone's credit union

ECU Australia Extends a Helping Hand to PNG Credit Union

In line with the Credit Union ethos of ‘Co-Operation’ ECU Australia senior executives meet with David Munaga, the CEO of Air Niugini Savings & Loan Society during his recent visit to Cairns.

The focus of the visit by Air Niugini Savings & Loans was to establish a working relationship; gain support and guidance in the areas of Technology, Governance, Human Resources and Product Development.

ECU Australia’s CEO Colin Daly said “ECU Australia is the largest locally based financial institution in the region and perfectly placed to assist Air Niugini Savings & Loans.”

The visit included a tour of ECU Australia’s Head Office and Cairns Branch and meetings with several senior executives. Air Niugini Savings & Loans CEO David Munaga said “The visit was very beneficial,  with a number of positive and productive outcomes. As Credit Unions, we face similar challenges and the relationship we have commenced with ECU Australia will be an invaluable support as we develop and grow over the coming years.”

A core credit union ethos is the philosophy of cooperation, and the practice of credit unions actively cooperating with other credit unions, in order to best serve the interests of their members and their communities.

“Continuing the ideals and beliefs of our credit union pioneers we trust Air Niugini Savings & Loans will benefit from our expertise and experience. We share a vision of financial well-being for our members and the communities in which we operate. Made all the stronger due to our historical and geographical link with PNG, there has always been a strong bond of friendship and mutual understanding between our two countries.” concluded Colin.
