About Police Credit Union Limited

We help refine the monetary resilience of those who serve and protect-providing flexible saving accounts and affordable personal loans with paybacks made straight from your pay.

Our free employee benefit persuades members to prepare for the future with a flexible savings account which comes straight from their pay. Whether saving for a new car, a holiday, mortgage deposit or just a rainy day-we want to help you get there.

We have come a long way

We have been improving the monetary resilience of the Police, Prison Service and Armed forces since 2003. Police Credit Union is a not-for-profit monetary co-operative devoted to helping the police and law enforcement family- including serving and retired police officers/police staff and members of their households.

A growing credit union

We continued to grow in the early 2000s, as Merseyside Police Credit Union transferred engagements to Police Credit Union in 2003 and then by Northumbria Police Credit Union and Devon and Cornwall Constabulary in 2004.

Financially and socially, our figures make sound sense

Credit Unions rules mean we intend to pay a dividend on savings once a year to all their members.

Members savings are kept within the common bond and the capital is lent to other members to help them in return for a realistic rate of interest charged. By law, a credit union cannot currently charge more than an APR of 42,6% but again, the rate we charge is normally far less than this. We have payday loans, short-term loans and personal loans to choose from.

The youngster savings account

The youngster account gives your children or grandchildren a good start financially, although, under credit union regulation, they must live in the same household as the main member.

  • You can open a youngster account with just £10.
  • Support saving from an early age.
  • Regular saving or occasional lump sums.
  • Once they reach the age of 18 they will have access to the full services provided by the credit union.
