Credit Union, former Chief of Police, the late Edmund Blaize, a Catholic, was very committed to the establishment of a vibrant financial co-operative for Police officers. It was officially registered in 1957. Since that time, the membership has opened to the General Public to include Caribbean Nationals.

The ABPCCU is guided by social and democratic principles, that allows it to operate not just like a financial institution set up to give out loans, but a family of police officers coming together to help each other. Some of these basic principles include one member one vote, not for profit, but cooperation among members. Members are encouraged to save regularly and borrow wisely.

The ABPCCU is a member of the Antigua and Barbuda Cooperative League Limited, the Caribbean Confederation of Credit Unions and the World Council of Credit Unions.
