The two arrows replace the letters ‘A’ to represent the expansion of the Singapore Co-operative Movement. A set of three coloured circles that compose the ‘O’s in the words ‘co-operative’ and ‘movement’ represents how different parties within the Co-operative Movement come together and offer support to one another, allowing the Movement to advance as a whole.
The three vibrant colours in the logo personify the values of our co-operatives. The red circle symbolises leadership and proactiveness which is imperative in initiating collaborative movements. In addition, it conveys the strength, energy, and passion that members possess and bring to their jobs. The orange circle symbolises encouragement and confidence – characteristics that co-operative members demonstrate as they deliver good work in unity and render mutual support. The green circle symbolises growth, as members collaborate to achieve greater heights. This colour also implies stability for the Co-operative Movement.

The Singapore Co-operative Movement seeks to empower communities championing social causes to connect and collaborate, develop and innovate, and uphold the co-operative spirit to build a strong and resilient Movement.
Credit co-operatives, also known as thrift and loan societies, encourage thrift by accepting deposits from members and providing loans on reasonable terms. They are formed by people facing similar economic needs, who come together on the basis of equal rights and obligations through a democratically controlled enterprise.
Many credit co-operatives are work-based, with employees of an organisation recruited as members. As a staff benefit, organisations may offer a check-off system that enables deductions from employees’ monthly salaries for contributions to their subscription accounts and loan repayments to their co-operatives.
Today, credit co-operatives play an important role in supporting the economic and social well-being of their members.

These co-ops, formed by the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), strive to harness its gamut of social enterprises to do good and meet the pressing social needs in areas like health and eldercare, childcare, daily essentials, cooked food and financial services. They are formed by the Labour Movement with the primary purpose of serving workers and their families.
