Credit unions exist only to serve their members- not to profit from them.

WHAT IS The Credit Union Difference

  • Each credit union is an independent, ‘not-for-profit’ organisation that exists solely for the benefit of its members, not stock markets. Decisions are therefore made at a local level.
  • No matter how much you have saved, all members aged 16 or over, have equal voting rights on issues affecting their credit union.
  • We offer members the chance to have control over their own finances by making their own savings work for them. Carnglen Credit Union is owned by the members — the people who save and borrow with it — people like you.
  • When you become a member and start saving with Carnglen Credit Union you will have access to fair and reasonable rates on savings and loans.
  • Your savings contribute to your credit union’s loan fund. So your savings are helping other members. Members like you.
  • Carnglen Credit Union exists only to serve its members — not to profit from their needs. Surplus income generated is returned to members by way of a dividend and/or is directed to improved or additional services required by the members.
