Our story

Built by Papua New Guineans, for Papua New Guineans.

Founded in 1972 as a teachers' savings society, TISA was created to help working Papua New Guineans build a financial future they could trust. Half a century on, that founding promise still guides everything we do.

Today, TISA Group operates across banking, insurance, real estate, investments and security — a coordinated group of values-based businesses serving more than 85,000 members and their communities nationwide.

We remain proudly locally owned and locally led, anchored in the conviction that inclusive financial services are the foundation of long-term national prosperity.
