CrediSIS expands operations in Paraná with the establishment of CrediSIS Copacol

CrediSIS expands its presence in Paraná with the establishment of CrediSIS Copacol Assessoria/CrediSIS The CrediSIS System expands its presence in Paraná with the establishment of CrediSIS Copacol Cooperativa de Crédito, approved this Friday (14), during the General Constitution Assembly held in a hybrid format, with the participation of founding partners from different municipalities in the region. In total, 1,430 founding members approved the constitution of the new cooperative, in addition to the Bylaws, the election of members of the Administration and Fiscal Councils and other deliberations scheduled for the meeting. With the constitution, CrediSIS Copacol becomes the 15th unique cooperative of the CrediSIS System, strengthening the institution's presence in the south of the country. The process represents yet another advance in the growth strategy of the CrediSIS System, based on intercooperation and the union of different cooperatives around an operating model that seeks to promote the economic and social development of the communities where it is present. "It is a great satisfaction to know that we are taking this important step and we are now in this very prosperous region of Paraná, implementing a credit cooperative that aims at the economic and sustainable development of rural properties. We have strong ties with the south of the country, as many who are in Rondônia also came from Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. Cooperating is what moves us and we are sure that this is a step towards great achievements for CrediSIS Copacol members", says Otelo Castellani Filho, president of the CrediSIS System. With the establishment of the new cooperative and after the necessary regulatory steps, including analysis and authorization from the Central Bank, CrediSIS Copacol will be prepared to offer members a complete portfolio of financial solutions. A union based on intercooperation The creation of CrediSIS Copacol is the result of an intercooperation movement between two organizations with trajectories built on collective development. With 62 years of history, Copacol is one of the main agro-industrial cooperatives in Brazil and has a strong presence with rural producers and the communities where it operates. The creation of the credit cooperative responds to a demand identified among its members and expands the ecosystem of solutions available for the development of properties and businesses. "This moment marks another historic chapter for Copacol, with the union of cooperative members who once again trusted the Cooperative to create our credit cooperative. We are repeating a memorable feat from 1974, when members signed promissory notes for the construction of warehouses, expanding storage capacity, so that we can get here. The credit cooperative was a demand claimed for a long time and, after many studies, we decided to take this step, safely and expanding opportunities to our members. With the approval of the vast majority, we are now just waiting for the opinion of the Central Bank so that we can offer the services with the best possible conditions", says the CEO of Copacol, Valter Pitol. The partnership with the CrediSIS System allows the new cooperative to have a specialized structure in the cooperative financial segment, combining Copacol's experience and knowledge of the regional reality with the structure, technology and financial expertise of CrediSIS. Financial solutions for members Among the products and services are current accounts, loans, financing, working capital, investments, cards, Pix, bills, checks, card machines, consortiums, private pensions, internet banking and accounts for children, among other solutions. The proposal is to provide members with access to financial services in a close, agile and aligned way to the needs of the region, with special attention to demands related to agribusiness and activities carried out on rural properties. The new cooperative also includes participation in results as one of the differentiators of the cooperative model, strengthening the bond between the financial institution and its members. Governance During the General Constitutional Assembly, the first members of the CrediSIS Copacol Board of Directors and Supervisory Board were also elected. The Board of Directors will be chaired by Valter Pitol, with James Fernando de Morais as 1st vice-president and Silvério Constantino as 2nd vice-president. Also on the board are Célia Regina Hoffmann, Glaucia Tiemi Yorinori, Italo Rafael Sirico, José Morais daSilva Filho, Luiz Antonio Della Valentina and Miguel Motter. The Supervisory Board will be composed of effective members Andrei Buss, Elder CândidoGabriel and Lourival Malagutti, with Waldemar de Ré as an alternate. Representing the CrediSIS System, the President Otelo Castellani Filho, the Director of Risks and Supervision, Guilherme Alves, and the Administrative and Financial Director, Kênia Pires, participated in the General Constitution Assembly. The creation of CrediSIS Copacol thus marks a new stage for credit cooperatives in Paraná and for the CrediSIS System itself, expanding its operations and strengthening a network built on cooperation, proximity to cooperative members and commitment to community development.
