Our History
The Berrima District Credit Union (BDCU) was established in 1963 by a group of co-workers at Southern Portland Cement. In a spare room of the cements works, they pooled their resources and established a savings and loan fund. This was a response to a social need of the time - the need for easier access to low value loans. Members of a community came together to help members of their community.
The communities we serve have grown exponentially since those early days, as have the needs of our community and the environment within which we operate. However our purpose has not changed, nor our value to our community.
