How we protect your money
Just like your high street banks and building societies, the money you deposit into your credit union account, up to £85,000, is protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). If you have a joint account you will be protected for £85,000 each.
FSCS protection is free to customers, so if anything happens to your bank, building society or credit union, and you cannot access your money, the FSCS will refund you up to the amount of £85,000.

Have been a member for a number of years now. Always had a great experience, staff helpful and requests always actioned quickly. There has been significant development of options for saving and accessing loans and these are helpful. It’s very easy to withdraw your savings or organise a loan and the money is quickly available!!!! Only thing I’d like to see is to make it easier it increase or add money to the savings account or direct debit. Sometimes I have a bit of spare money I’d like to add to my account and while it’s easy to withdraw I’d like the same option to add to the account!! Otherwise totally happy with the NHS Credit Union. Thanks
