Credit Unions are financial co-operatives owned and controlled by their members. They offer the facility to save your money and also offer affordable loans. Credit Unions are both local and ethical organisations. Credit Unions are regulated by the Financial Services Authority and savings are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
