Our mission statement
To continue to serve our existing membership by being a safe, mutual financial organisation, run by its members, for its members, with a proportion of any surplus returned to its members by an annual dividend agreed at the A.G.M.
To develop our support for the financially excluded communities, offering a real alternative to ‘door-step lending’, or those lending at very high interest rates.
Our Objectives:
- Expand membership of savers in line with BDCU resources
- Expand membership of borrowers in line with BDCU resources
- Work with other likeminded partners to promote financial inclusion
- Grow employed members with payroll/standing order deductions
- Grow member saving with cash deposits/unwaged and low waged members
- Continue to develop and expand the range of services the credit union offers
- To provide a service which reaches the financially excluded who, at present have difficulty in accessing current financial services
- To ensure the credit union is sustainable
