In a small town in northern Rio Grande do Sul, Maria, a rural producer, always believed that the future is built with your own hands. But it wasn’t until she discovered Sicredi Sul Minas RS/MG that she truly understood the power of cooperation.
Since 1981, Sicredi Sul Minas has been more than a financial institution. It’s a bridge between dreams and achievements, between people and communities. With over 90,000 members across municipalities in RS and the central-west region of MG, the cooperative doesn’t just offer financial solutions — it cultivates development.
Maria clearly remembers the day she walked into the Getúlio Vargas branch. She was welcomed with a smile, a warm coffee, and most importantly, someone who listened. There, she wasn’t just a client. She became a co-owner of the cooperative, with a voice in decisions and a share in the results. With the credit she received, she invested in her vegetable production. Today, she not only supplies the local market but also creates jobs and inspires other women in the region.
And she’s not alone. The R$ 2.5 billion in total resources managed by Sicredi Sul Minas circulate among its own members, strengthening commerce, agribusiness, and small entrepreneurs. That’s R$ 1.82 billion in credit operations that stay within the community, generating real impact: more jobs, more income, more opportunities.
With branches in 53 municipalities, the cooperative is present in cities like Divinópolis, Piumhi, Sertão, and Estação. Each branch is a connection point for people who believe in a better future — one built together.
The result? A net worth of R$ 227.7 million and R$ 20 million in profits that go back to those who are part of this story. Because at Sicredi, profits don’t go to distant shareholders. They return to the community — to those who believe, invest, and grow together.
Maria often says that with Sicredi, she learned that to cooperate is more than to share: it’s to multiply. Multiply dreams, achievements, and above all, hope.
