Thinking of joining a credit union, or not sure what one is?
Antonine Credit Union, previously known as Croy and Kilsyth Credit Union, was founded in 1981 and is a financial co-operative owned by our members.
Originally set up by a group of friends around a coffee table in their front room, the Credit Union has developed from there to our new modern day service.
Like all credit unions, we are a not-for-profit, community-based organisation, owned by our members who regularly save and borrow with us and managed by the nominated and elected board of directors, voted in from them at our AGM, along with a pool of volunteers and staff who support us with the day to day running of the organisation. we are able to offer our members access to savings accounts and individually tailored low-cost loans.
We are authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority 213818. As part of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, we are able to say you're money is protected upto ยฃ85,000 just like any traditional bank, offering you also that little piece of mind, knowing that should in the unlikely case, anything go wrong that you're money is covered by the UK's deposit guarantee scheme.
Our Common Bond has also grown and we are now accepting new members, from all across North Lanarkshire. Without us losing the overarching goal of being all about people helping people, we are here to help, it's never to late to save for a rainy day!
Why not get in touch today, to find out more information or even how you can join too!
