About Partners Credit Union
Partners Credit was launched in 1993 initially for employees of Liverpool City Council.
We now employ 13 staff throughout 2 branches and have an excess of 10 000 active members holding in excess of £8m in their savings and close to £7m out on loan to those members totalling around £90 million.
What are Credit Unions
A credit union is a member-owned, monetary co-operative which offers monetary services only to its members. Basically, credit union takes deposits from its members and then lends that capital out to other members. The interest levied on those personal loans then provides for a return on the savings.
What are Credit Unions for?
Credit unions have an existence for the economic empowerment of their members. They encourage savings, offer monetary education and affordable short term loans, all while circulating the capital within its membership community- i.e. the capital and profit stay within the membership and don’t go to external shareholders.
