The colorful history and lasting credibility of Tagum Cooperative serve as a competitive advantage among all other financial institutions in the localities. All these efforts are brought about by the passion and dedication of its officials, hard work rendered by the employees, and the continued patronage of its members.
Exemplifying the 6th Cooperative Principle: cooperation among cooperatives, primary coops are affiliated with tertiary federations to help strengthen the best practices and address operational and governance concerns.
