Discovery Credit Union

For people.  Not profit.  We envision our members having the opportunity to happily participate in all aspects of life.

What is Discovery Credit Union?

Formed in 2003, we are a locally based not for profit financial co-operative owned and run by its members, for its members. We provide our members with a safe, secure place to save as well as a place to borrow money.

Our members all have something in common – we share what is known as a ‘common bond’ – we all live or work within DD1 through to DD11 or, we are employees or tenants of local councils or housing associations.

How it works
When someone joins a credit union they open a share account and have shares in the credit union. It is known as a share account because individuals become part owner of the credit union. Your savings are your shares in the credit union. The value of your savings determines how many shares you have in the company.

Credit unions encourage members to save on a regular basis – how much you decide to save is entirely down to you. All our members’ savings (shares) are pooled together. This pool is then used to make low interest loans to our members. We only lend to members of Discovery Credit Union.
