A "helpful" hand from a neighbour or a "pal" can turn into a nightmare.

Loan sharks wait for you to be at your lowest to trap you in debt that never ends.

Whether you are struggling with bills or even grieving a loved one.

You are not alone. If you’ve borrowed from the wrong person and feel like you "can’t breathe anymore," there is a way out. Talk to us first. Your Credit Union is here to provide safe, fair, and legal ways to manage your money.

If you or someone you know is being targeted by an illegal lender, you can contact the Scottish Illegal Money Lending unit in total confidence to stay safe.

Don't let a loan shark take away your peace of mind. Come in and chat with us.

This project was brought to life by Kingdom Community Bank in partnership with COSLA, Fife Voluntary Action, Fife Council and Scottish Illegal Money Lending Unit.

Why pay £200 more for the same loan?

When you need a hand with an unexpected expense, where you borrow matters.

We compared our Start Up Loan against other lenders in the market, and the results speak for themselves.

As a member-owned cooperative, we keep our rates fair so you can keep more of your hard-earned money.

Make sure the recent DWP payment changes don't catch you off guard.

The CAS payment is no longer ""banked"" for you by the DWP, so it’s up to you to keep that savings habit going.

In the past, the Carers Allowance Supplement (CAS) acted like an automatic savings pot, arriving twice a year. Now, it is paid weekly alongside your CSP.

We want to help you keep that "savings" habit alive.

With recent news of illegal money lending arrests in Methil and Aberdeen, we want to remind our community: you don't have to turn to a loan shark.

Illegal lenders may seem like a "quick fix," but they lead to a cycle of debt, intimidation, and sky-high costs.

We offer a Start Up Loan of up to £500 that is:

✅ 100% Legal & Regulated: We are authorised by the PRA and regulated by the FCA.
✅ Fairly Priced: At 42.6% APR, we are significantly cheaper than high-cost lenders and lightyears ahead of illegal ones.
✅ Supportive: We assess you as a person, not just a credit score.

Don't take the risk. Borrow from a source you can trust. We are people helping people.

We are incredibly proud to highlight our ongoing partnership with Save By The Bell 🔔

Together, we are making "money talk" natural to our pupils.

Through our school-based savings clubs, we’re helping pupils across the region understand the value of:

Consistency: Learning that small, regular deposits grow into big opportunities.

Goal Setting: Planning for the things they want today while building for tomorrow.

Community: Understanding how a local financial mutual supports everyone.

National Children’s Day reminds us that we have a responsibility to provide children with the tools they need to thrive.

By giving them the confidence to manage money early, we're helping them with skills they’ll use to open doors to their future.

A huge thank you to the educators and volunteers who make Save By The Bell possible. Here’s to building a financially resilient future for every child! 🚀
