Find out how to save with the Credit Union

Share Accounts

A credit union is a group of people who save together and lend to each other at a fair and reasonable rate of interest. Credit unions offer members the chance to take control over their own finances by making their own savings work for them. Every Credit Union is owned by the members – the people who save & borrow with it – people like you.

Over 11,000 members rely on us for financial services. We provide many facilities to our members including savings, low loan rates, direct debits, standing orders, online facilities and even a mobile app!

You have the added bonus of knowing that your savings are being used to make loans to other members, just like you.
The Credit Union encourages saving on a regular basis. Whether you’re saving for something in the future or just for a rainy day, regular saving is a good idea. Savings provide the capital for funding loans. Regular savings allow you to build a track record before applying for a loan.
