We launched our STASH YUH CASH savings competition on April 1, 2009. This competition was geared towards helping members develop budgeting skills to assist them in these difficult economic times. At
the Jamaica Police Co-operative Credit Union Limited (JPOL) we are cognizant of the fact that the only ‘formula’ for survival in this challenging financial maze is SAVINGS! SAVINGS! SAVINGS!

The competition ran until March 31, 2010. The winners received cash prizes totaling Two Hundred and Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($275,000.00), exclusive of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) in special occasion prizes of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) each; which were drawn throughout the competition on Easter, Independence and Valentine’s Day from each branch.

Deposits of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) qualified our members for one entry coupon. However for each additional Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) Deposit two entry coupons were given.

Each participant had a chance of walking away with a minimum of Two Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars ($220,000.00) inclusive of their savings if they saved the minimum deposit of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) each month for the twelve months of the competition.

An elated Mr. Wilson shows us his cheque for One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars.
