About us

It’s your Credit Union

GMB Credit Union belongs to you

Since 1999, we’ve aimed to give GMB members and their families simple and fair options for savings and loans. 

GMB Credit Union belongs to you, as it’s owned and run by its members. Our main goal is to help you, not make money. We simply provide affordable loans and easy access savings accounts.

As a not-for-profit financial institution, we focus on retaining and making money work for GMB members. This way, everyone in our community enjoys the advantages, not just a select few.

We’re secure and take care of your money. GMB Credit Union is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), ensuring strict standards to protect your money. Plus, members’ savings are fully covered up to £85,000 by the financial services compensation scheme (FSCS).

GMB Credit Union focuses on building a better relationship with members. We listen to your needs and work with you to find the most responsible solutions for saving and borrowing. By being part of a caring community, you feel more confident and supported in managing your finances. This helps you make wise money decisions moving forward and achieve your financial goals.
