What is a Credit Union?

Posted By: Chris B on March 10, 2010 in - Comments: No Comments »

A credit union is a not-for-profit financial institution which is mutually owned and democratically controlled by its members who are known as shareholders.

Membership is determined by fulfiling the criteria of the COMMON BOND which is “Live or Work in Angus”. Simply put, if you live or work in the Angus area then you can become a member/shareholder of Angus Credit Union.

Some key points:

  • Credit Unions operate under the Credit Unions Act 1979
  • Credit Unions are Regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) which is responsible for the regulation of all other financial service providers in the country
