Save ethically with your local credit union

Unlike many ethical investments, your contribution can have a positive impact on your local community. We aim to provide a high quality, sustainable and easy to access savings and loans co-operative, which is responsive to the needs of the people of Brighton & Hove and actively combats the detrimental effects of poverty and financial exclusion.

We believe that for every £1,000 invested in the credit union we can reduce the amount of interest payments made to higher cost lenders by £500.

And its very easy to save with us. You can pay direct from your pay packet on one of our payroll deduction schemes, via standing order, Pay Point or cash at our office.

Each year after we have met our essential running costs we redistribute our profit back to the local community. This 'dividend' is your share of our success and is decided by the membership at our AGM each year.

As the credit union grows so should the rate of return for our investors.

The law is also due to change and we are expecting credit unions to be able to pay an interest on savings in addition to any dividend. Watch this space for more information.
