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 7000 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!
