How are we different?
We're owned by our customers
We put customers’ interests first in everything we do, from providing a wide range of great products to improving service and value. Our aim is to make a positive difference to the lives of our customers, our communities and our people.
We take our social and ethical responsibilities seriously
As we do not invest our members' money in stocks and shares, many of the issues normally associated with ethical investment do not apply to us. In the last financial year, we donated more than £100,000 to support local community, educational and charitable initiatives.
We look at individual circumstances
Our expert team make decisions on a case by case basis and the outcome of your application is not decided by a computer. Whether you're an apprentice, self-employed, a first time buyer, retired or a business owner, we'll do everything we can for you.
We're easy to contact
You can give us a call, pop into your local branch or chat to us online or via social media.
