Bedford Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial co-operative owned by its members who live or work in Bedfordshire. We seek to alleviate financial disadvantage by providing fair loans to individuals who would otherwise have to resort to very high-cost credit from online lenders or loan sharks.

From our Bedfordshire office, our staff and volunteers also provide basic savings and banking services, often to individuals who find it hard to engage with conventional banking due to physical or mental ill-health, homelessness or a chaotic lifestyle.
