Opening an account is easy, whether it is to make a deposit or to sign up for a loan.

Borrow fairly

Get a loan from Churches Mutual to cover unexpected costs or for improvements to your home.

Please Note Churches Mutual staff are presently remote working. The credit union services are unaffected, except that we now ask that you request withdrawals before 11.30 am if you need the funds the same day. We also recommend contacting the office by email or telephone during this time as there may be a delay in accessing post sent to the Head Office.

Who is Churches Mutual?

Churches Mutual is a mutual society, a savings and loans co-operative owned and controlled by its members.

It is an ecumenical collaboration between the Church in Wales, the Church of England, the Church of Scotland, the Methodist Church of Great Britain, the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, and in Scotland, the Scottish Episcopal Church and the United Reformed Church.

All credit union members should share a common bond, in the case of Churches Mutual it is that they are lay or ordained ministers, employees or trustees associated with one of our partner churches. This includes local, regional and national church institutions, denominational charities, voluntary aided schools and diocesan academy trusts.

It is run by a small but professional staff and governed by a volunteer board, which includes accountants, clergy, former regulators and experienced businessmen and women drawn from the participating denominations.

Savers and Borrowers Flourishing Together

What our members have to say

First rate service - helpful, friendly and efficient in equal measure.

We are glad for an opportunity to be part of the Credit Union movement.

I could not have wished for a more efficient system, nor for better help along the way.
