Credit Unions

Credit unions are financial co-operatives owned and controlled by their members. They offer savings and great value loans to our residents plus they are local, ethical and know what their members want. Many credit unions now offer a range of services including a current accounts, benefits direct, ISAs and Child Trust Funds.

Find a credit union that you would be able to join by meeting the ‘common-bond’ requirements. The “common bond” is something that the potential members of the credit union share in common. ie: the potential members may work for the same employer, live in the same area or be members of the same association.
