Passionate
We love the Credit Union and the impact it makes on the lives of its members. Our passion for the Credit Union drives us to go above and beyond to exceed our members’ and colleagues’ expectations. We are always working to improve our services and embrace new ideas and ways of working.
Serve and Protect Credit Union was founded in September 2003, through a series of mergers with like-minded police credit unions. In total, seven credit unions that served police forces across the United Kingdom came together which inspired our mission statement at the time of “Strength in Unity”. These credit unions were:
This merger allowed the credit union to reinvest in its members, deepen relationships with police forces across the country, support great causes, and build a community of those who serve and protect. It wasn’t until 2012 that the credit union decided to expand to other sectors, opening its field of membership to the Prison & Probation Service. In 2015, the credit union continued to increase its scope across the public sector by opening up to the Armed Forces Community. This was followed by further expansion in 2020 to the Fire & Rescue Services and the Health & Social Care sector.
