How can a credit union help you?

Instead of confusing jargon, think comfy sofa and a cup of tea. A credit union is a friendly, straightforward financial provider with our members at the heart of what we do. That means what matters is you, not how much profit we make.

A credit union is there for you with flexible, approachable financial services and advice, whether it's for personal loans or savings, or business loans and services.  We operate solely for you, not our stakeholders, which means our members - that’s you and your community - are in control.

A credit union believes in local community - the savings you put in act as the loan for someone else, so your money never leaves the community. Every penny is used to benefit you. That doesn’t mean less security though - we’re regulated by Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), so you know your money is safe.

Your East London Credit Union

Savings, loans and business services tailored to you.

We’re here for a more flexible alternative to your usual way of banking. But our members are in control - we exist solely for you.

We provide a secure place to save like you’re used to and, if you need a hop up the ladder for some home improvements, we offer flexible loans with sensible repayments. You’ll be covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and we’ll look after you, never offering anything you can’t afford. And if we generate surplus, that money goes straight back to you and your savings. Last year, our adult members received 1% whilst our junior savers received 3%. Sounds pretty inviting, doesn’t it?
