What is a Credit Union?
A credit union is a bit like a bank, offering very similar services, such as savings accounts, loans and mortgages however unlike banks, Credit Unions are a Not for Profit organisation. Each member holds a £1 share in the credit Union and
any profit made is invested back into the company generating a dividend for members, competitive interest rates and improving services. Credit Unions are run by members and the board of directors are all volunteers.
