Riverside Credit Union is a not-for-profit, member-owned financial cooperative that exists for the benefit of a group of members who share a common bond.

Riverside Credit Union was established in 1989 by the people of Speke and Garston in Liverpool. Starting out in various pubs, clubs, societies and church halls in the Speke and Garston area, we moved into our current premises in April 2014 where we continue to grow.

It is Riverside Credit Union’s mission to provide every member with access to reasonably priced financial services and encourage the development of good financial practice.

Q What is the difference between a credit union and a bank?

One of the biggest differences between credit unions and banks is the member’s ownership or involvement in the institution.
While you think this may not affect you, it actually does.

Credit unions are not-for-profit organisations owned by their customers, who are called “members.” As a member and owner, you are given the opportunity to gain greater control over your finances.

Q What does it mean to be a member of the credit union?

As a member of the credit union, you own part of the credit union through your shares.

The members own, control, and administer the Society (the credit union).

Because you are a member and partial owner, the credit union works for you. Therefore, as a member of the credit union you will have access to ethical and affordable loans and more financial advice as to which loan product is best for you.

Q What makes credit unions ethical?

redit unions strive to offer fair, competitive financial services to individuals from all walks of life, regardless of their social status and economic background.

Additionally, we believe that borrowing money should be a carefully thought through process, and the way we lend is built around your ability to repay.

Our dedicated employees want to work with you personally to create a repayment plan that best fits your situation.
