Leicester Credit Union

read moreWe are a fair, responsible and people focused credit union, providing a wide range of ethical financial products and services throughout Leicester, Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire. Just like your high street banks and building societies, the money you deposit into your credit union account, up to 85,000, is protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). If you have a joint account you will be protected for 85,000 each. FSCS protection is free to customers, so if anything happens to your bank, building society or credit union, and you cannot access your money, the FSCS will refund you up to the amount of 85,000.

For those under 18 we offer a savings account that gives young savers the opportunity to learn to manage their own money. We encourage our young savers to set their own savings targets and friends and family can contribute to their savings as well.
