About Sicoob | Rua Bandeirantes in Andirá

Sicoob — short for Sistema de Cooperativas de Crédito do Brasil — is the country's largest credit cooperative network, built on the principle that members are both customers and owners, sharing in profits rather than feeding outside shareholders. This branch sits on Rua Bandeirantes in Andirá, a small city in northern Paraná whose name comes from the Tupi word for a type of bat, and whose economy has long revolved around coffee farming and agribusiness — exactly the kind of community where cooperative banking puts down deep roots. The proximity to Andirá's train station reflects the town's historical connection to the Estrada de Ferro Noroeste, which opened up this part of Paraná to settlement in the early twentieth century. An ATM is available on site.
