ERRATUM: Interest Rates for P1Million to P2 MIllion Pesos to 3.00% for members with
loans and 2.25% for members with NO loans. Thank you.
Dear PECCI Members/Co-operators,
A few days ago, PECCI Management released an Advisory regarding the reduction of interest
rates on savings deposits.
This initiative was brought about mainly by your leadership's desire to give due
recognition to patronizing members, who continuously support our products and services, by giving them
full interest rates (6%, 3% & 2.75%) on their savings deposits and at the same time, encourage casual
borrowers and non-patronizing members to do the same.
As you all know, all Cooperatives thrive on the support of their members. It is the
fundamental obligation of each member to support their Cooperative's products and services. Without
the members support, no Cooperative will survive, especially now in this time of pandemic.
...
As of August 31, 2020, PECCI's total membership stood at 12,333. Of this total, only
6,203 have existing loans, which means that 6,130 or 49.7% (almost half of all members) do not avail
of any of our loan services. It is in this context, that your leadership has decided to initiate
change in the interest rate structure.
Since the Advisory came out, Management has received several feedbacks and suggestions
from our dear members. Th prevailing theme of said comments are mostly positive, but some have
expressed concerns regarding the threshold set by the initiative, which affects the casual borrowers
who, while their borrowings are at the low-end, have indeed shown support by patronizing our loan
products nonetheless.
These concerns have reached our Board of Directors and on a meeting held last night,
October 26, 2020, have decided to revise the interest rate table, as follows:
With this change, your leadership hopes that we will achieve the objectives set by this intiative. Rest assured, your Board of Directors will continue to find ways to serve for the best interest of PECCI and the general membership.
Let's continue to support one another. Let's continue to support PECCI. Thank you and stay safe.
PECCI Management
