Why Join Us?
We are Scottish Universities Community Bank a financial co-operative that puts its members at the heart of everything we do.
Credit Unions are for everyone. They provide a financial community based on a common bond that unifies its members. For us here at SUCB, our common bond is employment within a Scottish-based university. There are no third-party shareholders within Credit Unions, meaning members see 100% of our profits as money is used to improve our products and services to you.
We help provide financial products to those who may struggle to get access to ordinary bank loans. Through saving and borrowing with us, we can help members improve their credit scores and make them eligible for more credit opportunities in future.
