SCVO Credit Union
SCVO Credit Union is Scotland’s leading voluntary sector credit union. We offer low cost loans, easy savings facilities, payroll deduction and quick bank transfers.
So what makes us different from high street banks and building societies? It’s simple – our ethos. We are a co-operative, accountable only to our members. In other words, our members come first.
We make sure you know where you stand. We give full and clear explanations of all our services, there are no hidden costs, and surplus Credit Union profits are returned to members in the form of a dividend.
Our service is available to anyone who is a regular volunteer, or employed by an SCVO member organisation, their partners and family members resident at the same address.
- You can save via your company payroll (by prior arrangement) or Direct Debit
- There are no arrangement or early / partial repayment fees
- Free life insurance (subject to conditions and limits)
- Your resident family members can also join and receive the same benefits as you
- We offer a warm and friendly help-desk service to assist you with any enquiries
