2000 Members and still climbing!
In November 2007, the Credit Union recruited its 2000th member, who said that she had been encouraged to join by friends who were already members. The Credit Union has seen rapid growth in the last year, which means that more and more people can avoid the extortionate interest rates charged by doorstep lenders.

New Time-Lock Savings Account
Do you want to save for Christmas or a special occasion without being tempted to withdraw the money? Why not open a Credit Union Time-Lock account and we'll make sure your savings are kept safe until the agreed date. And remember, due to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, your savings are much safer than some other Christmas savings schemes, such as Farepak.
