Scottish Police Credit Union

Scottish Police Credit Union was formed by Police officers in 1989 to provide financial services to their colleagues and the wider Police family in Scotland.

Over the years we have grown to be one of the largest Credit Unions in the UK and we have managed to do that by offering:

• A range of financial products to suit your needs
• A personal, friendly and professional service
• A flexible approach to dealing with your finances
• An alternative, ethical, financial organisation

Providing you with the ability to save and access low cost borrowing should you need to, membership of Scottish Police Credit Union will help you to plan and manage your present and future financial commitments, safe in the knowledge that your money is securely invested with an ethical and responsible mutual organisation which is owned and run by its members solely for their benefit.
