Laborie Co-operative Credit Union Limited wishes to inform our valued members that our Laborie Branch has been moved to a temporary location on the corner of High Steet and Guy O'Reilly Street in Laborie. All of our services will be available at this new location, however, members are encouraged to utilize our Vieux Fort Branch as much as possible. We will remain at the new location until the completion of our Laborie Building.
With seven billion people living in the world, each passing moment provides an opportunity to help one another. By losing ourselves in a cause we believe in and are prepared to fight for, we can find both happiness and genuine success.
This year on October 18, 2012, credit unions in 100 countries will celebrate International Credit Union (ICU) Day by banding together and appreciating their members.

The growth of the Credit Union has resulted in the space at the Laborie Branch being constrained and necessitates the urgent expansion and refurbishment of our building. It was our intention to begin construction in the latter part of 2010, but encountered difficulties in getting the documents ready for application to the Development Control Authority. The problems have now been resolved and we are looking in earnest to start construction before February 2012.
