• To provide loans to members at very low rates of interest.
• To provide members with help and support on managing their financial affairs (if required).

For the people of Gloucestershire, Run by the people of Gloucestershire
Gloucester Credit Union has many collection points across the County, making it easy for you to access our services.

Accounts

Its easy to set up an account with Gloucestershire Credit Union.

You will need to complete an application form (collect from one of our collection points or we can post one to you) and provide some ID. Find out more in our ‘How To’ section of the website.

Savings

As a member you can make regular savings, depositing as little or as much as you wish. These savings then form a shared pool of money from which loans are made to members.

Loans

When members have been saving for a certain period of time (usually about 12 weeks) they can apply for a loan from the pool. Interest on the loan is usually charged at only 1% per month on the monthly reducing balance – this equates to 12.68% Annual Percentage Rate (APR). The interest charged on loans is GCU’s income.
