Good to work with

I was chair of the Credit Union who through merger brought PCCU into Cumbria. They have increased savings and membership by 10s of percent and lending is up 5 times over our own achievement in the space of 4 years. They pay a dividend which we were unable to do. They are a very professional organisation. Reviewed on: 7th April 2025

Community Support.

I have been a savour for many years and have introduced my daughter and my granddaughter to save. We have all increased our savings amount as well as supporting other PCCU members with needed loans, some having been refused credit from mainstream banks. This has kept a lot of the members from approaching Loan Sharks. Reviewed on: 7th April 2025
