If you live or work in North Dorset or South-West Wiltshire If you can make regular savings ( however small ). If you need a little extra for life's necessities or emergencies ... a new fridge, cooker, car, bike ... kids' clothes and shoes ... vet's bill ... Christmas ... a much needed holiday ... a wedding ... a new baby! If you have difficulty getting credit ... or haven't got a bank account ... or just want to steer clear of banks and credit cards ... or avoid loan sharks and doorstep lenders charging up to 1,500% annual interest.
Then ... You need the First Dorset Credit Union, the first and biggest credit union in Dorset.
You can benefit from low interest rates on loans, and sensible and SECURE savings.
We operate as a Community Savings & Loans Co-operative, staffed by volunteers.
We exist to serve not to make profits. We are owned by YOU our members.
