Building Dreams Since 2013
Gonzaga Credit Cooperative was founded in 2013 by a group of dedicated individuals who believed in the power of community and collective growth. What started as a small savings group has grown into one of the most trusted credit cooperatives in the region.
For over a decade, we have remained true to our founding principles: putting members first, fostering financial inclusion, and building a stronger community through cooperation. Today, we serve over 2,000 active members and manage assets exceeding 100 million pesos.
Our success is measured not just in numbers, but in the countless lives we've helped transform - families who built their dream homes, entrepreneurs who started successful businesses, and students who achieved their educational goals through our support.
