Why Choose BDCU?

• Community Development: Our Community Development team goes out in public to ensure members know they have financial support when needed.

• Personalised Service: We understand your unique financial needs and provide solutions that fit, such as family loans or consolidation loans to help reduce stress when paying off debts.

• Non-profit: As a not-for-profit cooperative, we distribute dividends to savers, provided a surplus is achieved as opposed to set interest. This faith-friendly approach aligns with ethical principles, including those valued by Muslim communities. In collaboration with the Lord Mayor, Councillor Mohammed Shafiq, we actively promote this model and support initiatives that uplift our local communities.

BDCU was honoured to win the Lender of the Year award at the Yorkshire Financial Awards recently, as it demonstrates our unwavering commitment to being a valuable resource for our community. We deeply value each member and your feedback is essential to us.

Here’s what some of our members have to say about our loan products:

• (Mani) “BDCU has been great for the past few years and the loan rates are great. I have been lucky enough to get accepted and pay the loan back via my payroll.”

• (Amanda) “I found the whole process of joining the credit union straightforward. All my requests and enquiries have been dealt with quickly and by friendly staff. I wish I had known about the credit union and joined sooner instead of taking out high interest loans.”

• (Katie) “I’ve had loans from BDCU a few times. It’s quick, simple and definitely affordable.”

Here’s what some of our members have to say about our savings products:

• ( John B) “I love the fact that my savings are lent out to people who need it at reasonable rates, rather than them having to use extortionate bank rates or loan sharks.

• (Sandra B) “I’ve saved for years and it’s been a great achievement.”

• (Connor) “Not only does BDCU provide my family and I with a great place to save and borrow money, but it is also committed to going out into the community to share information about debt, loan sharks and money management. The people of Bradford love our credit union!”
