Credit unions
Home > Services > Community and Living > Consumer Advice and Protection > Now let's Talk Money
Each credit union has a 'common bond' which determines who can join it. The common bond may be for people living or working in the same area, people working for the same employer or people who belong to the same association, such as a church or trade union.
Credit unions are regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), and money saved in a credit union is protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme on the same basis as it would be if it was held in a bank or building society.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) Credit Unions booklet could help you find out how credit unions can help manage your money, how you can join one, explains how you can save (or borrow) with one and answers some of the questions you may have.
