Ever wonder what actually happens to your money when it sits in a big bank? Usually, it’s working to make shareholders richer. At Gateway Credit Union, things work differently.

The Credit Union Difference:

Owned by You: We’re a not-for-profit co-operative. You’re a member, not just an account number.

Keep it Local: Your savings stay in South East Wales to help your neighbours access fair, affordable loans.

Human Touch: Real people making real decisions—no "computer says no" from a distant head office.

Ethical, local, and focused on your financial wellbeing. It’s time to bank on your community.

Become a member and get access to our lowest loan rate of 6.2%!

Ever feel like as soon as you finally build up a solid savings cushion, a major expense comes along and threatens to wipe it out? 🙃💰

You shouldn't have to choose between draining your emergency fund and paying sky-high interest rates on a regular loan.

With a Gateway Credit Union Secured Loan, you get the best of both worlds:
✨ Keep your savings intact.
✨ Borrow the cash you need against your own funds.
✨ Unlock our lowest available loan rates because your loan is backed by you.
It’s your money—make it work for you. 🤝

⚠️ Missed repayments may affect your credit score. Savings are held as security and cannot be withdrawn until the loan is fully repaid.

Representative Example: 6.2% APR. Borrowing £1,000 today, pay £87 per month over 12 months. Total amount repayable is £1,033.00.

Volunteers’ Week 2026

This week, we’re celebrating the amazing volunteers who help make Gateway Credit Union what it is.

We’re proud to be taking part in Volunteers’ Week 2026 – marking 42 years of saying thank you to all volunteers across the UK for everything they do for society.

From supporting our members with enquiries and customer service, to helping guide the organisation through our volunteer Board of Directors, their time, skills and dedication make a real difference every day.

Volunteers are at the heart of communities across Wales, helping people, organisations and local groups thrive. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has volunteered with Gateway Credit Union, past and present.

Thank you for helping us continue to provide fair, ethical financial services and support local communities.
