You don't need all the answers. Just be willing to ask questions.

We're looking for new volunteer Directors to join the Board of East Kilbride Credit Union.

Help shape our future, share your experience and make a difference to a local, member-owned organisation.

We're particularly interested in people with marketing, business development, legal or governance experience — but welcome interest from people with other relevant skills too.

No previous Credit Union experience required. Induction and support provided.

Curious? Let's have a conversation.

📧 [email protected]

Or share this with someone you think would be brilliant around our Board table.

Well done to EK Burgh 2015 - What an achievement. We're proud to sponsor such an amazing local team. Well done boys! 💙

💙🖤 WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT! TEAM BURGH, TEAM SPIRIT! 🖤💙

A massive CONGRATULATIONS to our incredible East Kilbride Burgh 2015s for taking on the challenge of climbing Tinto Hill and raising an absolutely amazing £2,158! ⛰️⚽👏

Every single one of the kids should be immensely proud of themselves. They showed fantastic determination, teamwork and spirit, proving that being part of Team Burgh is about so much more than football. 💪💙

A huge thank you to all the parents, families, friends and everyone who donated and supported the boys along the way. Every penny and pound has made a difference, and your generosity will help us provide more opportunities and experiences for our players.

The boys set themselves a target, took on the challenge together and absolutely smashed it! ❤️

This is what grassroots football is all about — teamwork, community, commitment and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

To our amazing players: you are a credit to yourselves, your families and East Kilbride Burgh. We couldn’t be prouder of you! 🏆

£2,158 RAISED. ONE TEAM. ONE GOAL. A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR OUR PLAYERS.

💙 TEAM BURGH, TEAM SPIRIT! 💙

⚠️ IMPORTANT MEMBER NOTICE – APP SERVICE DISRUPTION

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our mobile app and online services due to a widespread Google Cloud issue affecting a number of financial services.

Unfortunately, this means our team is also unable to access the system to:

❌ Process share withdrawal requests
❌ Process loan applications received through the app
❌ View or respond to messages sent through the app

Our app provider is aware of the issue and is actively monitoring the situation while working to restore services as quickly as possible.

Please be assured that as soon as our systems are back up and running, our team will work to process all outstanding requests, including share withdrawals and loan applications, and respond to any messages received as quickly as possible.

There is no need to resubmit any requests already successfully received, as these will be dealt with once access has been restored.

📧 Need to contact us?

In the meantime, you can reach our team directly at [email protected].

We understand how frustrating this may be, particularly if you are waiting on a withdrawal or loan application, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.

We will provide further updates as soon as we have more information.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

🌍 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CREDIT UNION DAY!

Today, we're joining credit unions around the world to celebrate something we all believe in.

People helping people.

This year's theme is A Steady Signal in a Noisy World.

And we think that's rather fitting.

In a world of financial noise, complicated products and endless offers, credit unions offer something different.

Member ownership. Community. Responsible financial services. And people who genuinely care about the members they serve.

At EKCU, we're proud to be part of that movement.

To our existing members, thank you for being part of our story.

And to anyone who hasn't joined us yet, we'd love to welcome you.

🎉 Our £100 competition also closes TODAY at 5pm!

Know someone who should join EKCU?

Your partner?

Your pal?

That colleague who's been talking about starting to save for the last six months?

Consider this their reminder. 👀

Tomorrow is International Credit Union Day, and our £100 competition closes at 5pm.

New members can enter by joining EKCU and completing their normal initial deposit.

Existing members can enter through our original competition post.

And if someone you encourage to join wins?

Whether they share the £100 with you is entirely between the two of you. 😂

Full competition T&Cs apply.

A credit union with a history. And a future.

Credit unions have been helping people for generations.

But that doesn't mean we're stuck in the past.

At EKCU, we've been investing in our digital services, including EKCU+, to make accessing responsible borrowing more convenient.

Because financial services should fit around your life, not the other way around.

Local roots. Real people. Modern services.

That's the EKCU we're building.

And this week, we're celebrating International Credit Union Day with a £100 prize draw.

👉 https://www.ekcreditunion.co.uk/credit-unions-have-changed-have-you/

Loans are subject to eligibility, creditworthiness, affordability and approval. Competition terms apply.

12/10/2026

Our members know us. But plenty of people don't.

And we'd quite like to change that.

This Thursday is International Credit Union Day, a day to celebrate the difference credit unions make to millions of people around the world.

But we're starting a little closer to home.

If you're already an EKCU member, we'd love your help.

Share our competition post. Tell someone about us. Give us a mention.

You might introduce someone to a credit union they didn't even know they could join.

And remember, existing members can enter our £100 competition too!

Thanks for helping us spread the word. 💙

A credit union? What's one of those then?

A fair question. And one we get more often than you might think.

We're a bit like a bank, but with one rather important difference.

We're owned by our members.

Not outside shareholders. Our members.

We help people save money, offer responsible borrowing and work for the benefit of the people who use our services.

You don't need to be struggling financially to join. You don't need to take out a loan. And you don't need to know the first thing about finance.

We're celebrating International Credit Union Day next Thursday, so there's no better time to find out what we're all about.
