About Wolverhampton City Credit Union

We’re proud to be part of the worldwide credit union movement where people join forces to supply fairer monetary services in their communities and workplaces.

A not-for-profit community, we're owned and managed by our members-people who live, work, volunteer or study in a WV postcode area. Our mission is to give our members a better financial future by providing ethical, truthful and fair community banking.

Save money with us

Members' savings are used to finance other members at fair and reasonable interest rates. The interest paid back from loans is used to finance a return a members savings. We don’t have shareholders taking a slice of the profits. Instead, everything we do benefits our members and the wider community. We care deeply about how we do business and how we treat people.

Fair and responsible lending

We’re owned by our members who all have a fair say in how we run. You make your voice heard by selecting our volunteer board of directors at our Annual General Meeting. The Board decides the direction of the credit union, accepts business plans and challenges and supports the credit unions manager. As shareholders, our members earn a yearly dividend paid on their savings when we’re successful.
