About Me

Tagline
NOW IS THE TIME TO JOIN YOUR LOCAL CREDIT UNION!
Me, Myself, and I
EK Credit Union is a co-operative owned by members who save together & have access to affordable credit. Anyone who lives or works in EK or Strathaven is welcome to join.

We have been providing excellent financial services in EK for over 25 years and last year extended into Strathaven. The CU is run by members for members & over 10,000 residents have already used our services.

Your savings are safe as we are regulated by the FSA and are part of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme that guarantees up to £50,000 of savings in the event of problems.

We will consider loans for any purpose but as you would expect, certain terms & conditions do apply.

East Kilbride CU is controlled by a Board of Directors elected from the membership & is managed on a day-to-day basis by the manager & a dedicated team of staff & volunteers.

Adult Membership
To join East Kilbride Credit Union you must live or work in East Kilbride or Strathaven and be aged 16 or over.

We encourage regular deposits into your account weekly, fortnight or monthly. You can make deposits by cash or cheque, by calling into the office, PayPoint, standing order or by payroll deduction if you work for South Lanarkshire Council.

By saving with us you will benefit from free life and loan insurance, have access to low cost loans with no hidden charges and no small print.
Loans
Loans are only available to members who are aged 18 or over. All loans are based on the amount you have saved, how long you have been a member and, most importantly, your ability to repay.

Loan Officers will consider all applications and may subject them to credit checks. Applications may be referred to the Loan Review Board, which can take up to seven days for a decision to be made.

Juniors
Junior members are aged less than 16 years of age and require a sponsor to open their account. This can be a parent, grandparent or guardian who will operate the account until the junior member reaches the age of 16.

To open a junior account we require a copy of the birth certificate or passport and some identification for the sponsor. A deposit of £1.00 should be made to open the account

Payments can then be made by standing order through the sponsor’s account, deducted from sponsor’s payroll, or paid by cash or cheque at the office.

PayPoint Cards are also available for junior accounts if required. If paying by PayPoint the minimum deposit is £10.00.
Insurance
East Kilbride Credit Union Ltd offers loan protection and life insurance coverage. This benefit is free of charge and is only available to our members.
All adult members are automatically covered by this policy. All members receive 100% coverage from 18 - 64 years for savings. This reduces to 25% coverage from 65 - 80 years.
All members receive 100% coverage from 18-74 years for loans. There is no loan insurance available to members after the age of 75

Terms and conditions may apply

  • AGM Update

    The 2010 AGM took place on Tuesday 14 December in the Civic and was well attended by members.

    The members approved the accounts and accepted the Board’s declaration of a 1% dividend on shares which is an excellent achievement given the current tough economic circumstances we are all facing.

    Dividends will be credited to accounts early next month.
