WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1990, Metro Moneywise Credit Union is an employee-based credit union in the North West of England. We’re run by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers in Rochdale. But most important of all are our members, who make us what we are.

We are a community

By joining Metro Moneywise, you become part of a credit union that helps all of its members. Simply put, your savings allow us to provide loans to other members. That includes yourself, should you ever need a loan.

Our borrowers pay interest which funds the running of our Rochdale credit union, and any surplus is split between members. Best of all, your money is fully protected, so there’s no risk.

We’re democratic

Our members are what make up the credit union. They’re who we work for, and crucially they hold the power in our organisation.

All members are shareholders, meaning you get a share of any profits and a say in how we move forward—whether that’s attending our annual general meeting, applying to join the board of directors or just providing feedback on the service received.

We’re run for you

We put our members’ needs at the heart of everything that we do—and we understand that life isn’t always straightforward. Whatever your circumstances, our friendly, helpful and professional team work hard to ensure that our members are always better off with us. That extends from our transparent approach with no hidden charges or fees to our flexible products that can be adapted if your requirements change.

We hope you join us and if you are already a member, welcome back.
