PNG Power Staff Savings & Loan Society Ltd (PPSSLS) has done it again, and this time, bigger than ever.
For the 2025 financial year, PPSSLS has declared a record breaking 16.25% total interest return for its financial members. This is made up of the regular 5.25% base interest and an additional 11% interest credited to members’ Share Saver accounts.
This is a major milestone for PPSSLS and a powerful statement to the savings and loan society sector. It confirms what members have seen year after year. PPSSLS continues to perform, grow, and reward its members with outstanding returns.
A Historic Achievement for Members
The declaration of 11% additional interest for 2025 is the highest additional interest ever declared by PPSSLS.
This achievement builds on a strong record of consistent performance over the years. PPSSLS declared 8% additional interest in 2019, 8% in 2020, 9% in 2021, and then made history in 2022 by declaring 10% additional interest.
That 2022 declaration was a record-breaking moment in the savings and loan society sector. PPSSLS then continued its strong performance by declaring 8% additional interest in 2023 and maintaining another 8% additional interest in 2024.
For 2025, PPSSLS has taken a further step by declaring an additional 11% interest, bringing the total return to 16.25% when combined with the regular 5.25% base interest.
The numbers tell a powerful story.
| Year | Base Interest | Additional Interest | Total Interest Return |
| 2019 | 5.25% | 8% | 13.25% |
| 2020 | 5.25% | 8% | 13.25% |
| 2021 | 5.25% | 9% | 14.25% |
| 2022 | 5.25% | 10% | 15.25% |
| 2023 | 5.25% | 8% | 13.25% |
| 2024 | 5.25% | 8% | 13.25% |
| 2025 | 5.25% | 11% | 16.25% |
This consistent performance places PPSSLS in a league of its own. While many financial institutions speak about member value, PPSSLS continues to demonstrate it through real financial returns credited directly to members.
The 2025 result is not an isolated achievement. It is the outcome of years of disciplined management, sound governance, member loyalty, and a clear commitment to strengthening the financial well-being of members.
Opening Membership and Expanding Opportunity
One of the reasons behind PPSSLS’ outstanding performance has been its decision to open membership beyond its traditional base and welcome eligible financial members from other private and public sector companies.
This broader membership approach has strengthened the Society’s growth, increased participation, expanded its savings base, and created new opportunities for more Papua New Guineans to benefit from PPSSLS’ strong financial performance.
By opening its doors to members from both private and public sector organisations, PPSSLS has positioned itself as a more inclusive, progressive, and forward-looking savings and loan society. This membership growth has helped build a stronger financial foundation, allowing the Society to continue delivering exceptional returns while extending its benefits to more working people across the country.
The result is clear. PPSSLS is no longer only known for serving one group of workers. It is becoming a trusted financial home for members across different organisations who want better savings growth, reliable loan services, and a Society that puts members first.
A Proud Moment for the Society
PPSSLS has built a reputation for leading the savings and loan society space. The Society has shown that a member-owned financial institution can perform at a level that attracts attention across the wider financial services industry.
The 2025 declaration will undoubtedly be noticed by other savings and loan societies and by the superannuation sector. A total interest return of 16.25% is a result that speaks for itself.
This is not a claim based on ambition. It is a result based on performance.
PPSSLS continues to top its peers because it continues to deliver where it matters most. The benefit goes back to members.
“This historic 16.25% total interest return reflects the strength of our Society, the confidence of our members, and the commitment of the Board and Management to deliver real value. PPSSLS will continue to protect members’ savings, grow the Society responsibly, and ensure members remain at the centre of every decision we make,” says PPSSLS Board Chairman Mr Andrew Kavanamur.
The announcement has been welcomed by members who continue to see the value of belonging to PPSSLS.
“As a member, this result makes me proud. It shows that PPSSLS is performing well and that our savings are working for us. The 16.25% return will make a real difference for my family,” a happy PPSSLS member, Mr Gubang Wanget, enlightened.
“This is why I continue to save with PPSSLS. The Society keeps delivering strong returns, and members can see the benefit directly in their accounts,” says Rose Epoko, another PPSSLS member.
Built on Trust and Performance
The success of PPSSLS is built on trust. Members trust the Society with their savings, and the Society continues to reward that trust through prudent management and strong returns.
This latest declaration reinforces the importance of long-term savings. It also shows the power of a member-focused institution that is committed to sharing success with the people who make the Society strong.
PPSSLS has not only maintained its performance over the years. It has raised the standard again.
The Standard Has Been Raised Again
From 8% additional interest in 2019 and 2020, to 9% in 2021, to 10% in 2022, then 8% in 2023 and 2024, and now 11% additional interest in 2025, PPSSLS has shown a remarkable record of performance.
The 2025 declaration of 16.25% total interest return is the biggest in the Society’s history and a proud achievement for every financial member.
PPSSLS has once again proven that it is not simply participating in the savings and loan society sector.
It is leading it.
