Credit Union
Founded in 1997 as the South West Bath Credit
Union, the expanded and renamed Bath and North East Somerset Credit
Union (BANESCU) offers friendly and ethical financial services to
anyone living or working in the Bath and North East Somerset
area.
We are regulated by the Financial Services Authority, and a
member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, so your money
is as safe with us as it is with any High Street Bank.
We offer safe savings (including our newly launched 'Save for
Christmas 2008' scheme) and affordable loans at just 1% per month
interest on the remaining balance of the loan. We also cater for
young savers by offering junior deposit accounts, alongside our
popular 'Money Munchers' project which is running at Southdown
Infants School in Bath.
We work closely with advice agencies such as the Citizens Advice
Bureau and SWAN Advice Network to enable our members to access
money advice, budgeting and housing advice services.
