As the Grenada Public Service Co-operative Credit Union Ltd. we have been implementing initiatives to give our members more access and convenience.

The decision to rebrand came as a result of a recognition of the changing faces of our membership, in terms of age, preferences and lifestyles. At Ariza we want to spread our appeal to ALL Grenadians. Our founding members were persons who were based in the public service. Our future members are everyone who share the core values from which we sprung and identifies with our vision.

Our goal is to improve upon the typical customer service culture by demonstrating that we can provide a more uplifting member experience. The Ariza experience.

The Brand Description

The ARIZA name was developed to sound like the words rising and horizon – two distinct symbols with the connotations of reaching above and beyond.
The stylized “I” in the logo represents a person; we are seeking to develop the Credit Union one member at a time with a focus on the Individual.
The remaining letters are there to envelop our credit union membership, which stands at the heart or center of ARIZA. We strive to support and protect them in this capacity, and act as a solid foundation from which they will rise to financial success.

As a metaphor, the Ariza Credit Union brand promotes upward movement, rising and ascension to financial freedom and towards future success. The name represents nurturing, care and support and emphasizes the importance of members being at the heart of everything that makes up Ariza Credit Union.

Our colours, are turquoise and orange. Turquoise is a symbol of wisdom and protection. Deep orange is radiant, energetic and symbolizes rejuvenation, optimism and vibrancy

The Credit Union Movement

We are a Credit Union and therefore we hold firm to our credit union traditions. The traditional hands and globe logo will continue to feature prominently in what we do. Ariza complements, not replaces our traditional values. The Credit Union Movement was established to propel the lives of ordinary people. To raise them up to more than they can be individually by providing access to credit to enable them to reach beyond the constraints of paychecks. To leverage the power of cooperation so that ordinary people can realize their dreams, their goals and their aspirations. At Ariza seek to communicate this message in a different way.
