From humble beginnings in the year 1960, with a membership of 48 people and an initial share capital of One Hundred and Sixty Nine Pounds, Eight Shillings (£169.08), AaMm Co-operative Credit Union Limited has overcome obstacles and created opportunities on its unstinting path of growth and development.

Originally known as the Association of Assistant Masters and Mistresses, AaMm’s continuous movement along a clearly defined growth path is reflected in the over 14,000 members it now has, and over J$1 billion in share savings.  AaMm was conceived as a vehicle to assist Teachers to gain access to credit facilities which were difficult to obtain from the more traditional financial institutions.

Today, AaMm is helping not only teachers but also their families, providing financial products and services including savings, loans, financial counselling, health and life insurance from its Branch locations in Kingston, Portmore and Mandeville.

AaMm’s network of School Representatives is also at hand to extend the Credit Union’s financial expertise to teachers in institutions islandwide.

From the beginning, AaMm has made consistent efforts to provide members with exceptional customer service.  Members are served by a cadre of highly motivated staff who are guided by processes built on best practices resulting in a high level of member satisfaction. 

AaMm serves Teachers in any government-aided or recognized educational institution in Jamaica, (whether early childhood, primary/preparatory, secondary or tertiary institution):

• Members of the administrative staff of an educational institution, their spouses or children
• Trainee Teachers, their spouses or children
• Former Teachers, their spouses or children
• The siblings (brothers and sisters) of any existing member
