About Credit Unions
A credit union is a financial co-operative which provides savings, loans and a range of services to its members. It is owned and controlled by the members.
Why Join a Credit Union?
As a credit union member you are in control of your own finances and have a say in how your financial service provider is run. Credit unions serve you ‘the member’ by listening to your needs and developing the products and services that you want.
Mutual and Ethical Savings
Credit unions offer a range of savings accounts. You can choose to save as little or as much as you can afford.
Affordable Loans
Credit unions offer loan products suited to your individual needs and at rates you can easily afford.
Run by you, for you
As a credit union member you are in control of your own finances and have a say in how your financial service provider is run.
Putting you first
