Riverside Credit Union & You - A Partnership?

A credit union is a democratically run, not for profit co-operative which offers savings and loans to its members. At the Riverside Credit Union, You are not just the customer but a co-owning member. RCU is regulated by FSA and every member at RCU is entitled to have the same level of protection as any other bank or building society in the UK.

We are a Member owned organisation & each member makes regular payments into a common pot. This fund then provides the basis for low interest loans. Loans are available for any worthwhile purpose, such as holidays, Christmas celebration expenses, home improvements etc. The income generated by lending, helps us meet our operating expenses and employ the members of staff.

The main aims of Riverside Credit Union are:

• Encourage members to save regularly


• Provide loans at very low rates


• Provide members with help and support on managing their finances

Who can join?
