Leeds Credit Unions

During times of plenty, things were good in the city of Leeds but during harder times, when there was not so much work to go around, people struggled. It was because of these times when money and work were harder to get hold of that people in Leeds supported one another and created unions to save their money as a collective.

These unions are still going strong today as Credit Unions, and here we have listed a number of Leeds’ credit unions below.

Leeds City Credit Union

Found in Leeds city centre, the Leeds City Credit Union is one of the largest in the UK and offers a wide range of savings options for its strong membership.

Castle & Minster Credit Union

You will notice that not all the credit unions are in the Leeds City centre, but are in the local vicinity. This is because by having the main office outside of the city centre reduces overheads, so that the Credit Union can give the best possible credit options for its members.
