What is a Credit Union and why should you join?

Leeds City Credit Union is a financial cooperative with 37,000 members that provides straightforward, affordable financial services.

As a mutual there are no shareholders. Credit unions are owned by the people who use their services, and not by external shareholders or investors. So the emphasis is always on providing the best service to members – not maximising profits.

The credit union prides itself on providing members with the most appropriate services based on their circumstances.

Plus, they can be a welcome alternative to payday loans or doorstep lending.

Becoming a member is free and easy to do either online or in one of four branches in Leeds or Wakefield.

Anyone who lives or works in Leeds, Wakefield, Harrogate or Craven or anyone who works for one of our Select Employers, is a resident of certain Housing Associations or people who may be associated with some of our Other Partners are able to join.
