The BPS-FIPS assists pensioners from the financial sector to keep in touch with colleagues and friends and, where possible, provide financial assistance to those in need.
The FIPS came into being in 1969 as a result of the initiative of pensioners from First National Bank and Standard Bank.
BPS is financed through membership subscriptions of R65 per annum, as well as interest from investments.
Membership is open to any retired people who previously worked in the financial sector.
These funds are available for support to members who find themselves in financial difficulties.
The society has arrangements with their service providers who pay them a commission for business received from members.
Their main objective is to look after the interests of their members and provide support to those in need.
BPS has a robust constitution to manage the organisation, which includes the following objectives:
• To collate information on the needs of pensioners from the financial sector and to provide a channel for their views.
• To keep in touch with older pensioners and annuitants and in this way bring to light cases of particular hardship and to assist generally in whatever way it can, to make their lot easier.
• To assist member pensioners who may find themselves in financial difficulties and require short-term financial assistance.
• To join with other pensioner organisations in speaking up for the interests of this section of the community.
• To promote social functions and friendly gatherings at which they can meet, swap ideas and socialise with old friends and colleagues.
• To identify special offers tailored to pensioner needs and promote these to our members. These include competitive short-term insurances, holiday packages, and the like.
• To support BPS members running their own businesses in local areas.
