1 October 2010 Two Credit Unions Join Together

Press Release
Hope Credit Union and  Fortress Credit Union are joining together to create a 'new' credit union which will be known as Plymouth and District Credit Union or PDCU.

Following approval by the members for the joining together, the directors of both HOPE CU and Fortress CU are confident that the membership of Plymouth and District Credit Union will grow and the 'new' credit union will go from strength to strength.

This is the third occasion of a coming together and expansion that HOPE has initiated. Firstly, in 1995/6, the steering groups of Heart of Plymouth and East Plymouth came together to form HOPE (Plymouth) Credit Union. Over three years ago, Stonehouse Credit Union joined with HOPE CU to create a credit union covering a still wider area of Plymouth.

The 'new' credit union will cover all of Plymouth and surrounding districts, and will then have the largest credit union membership in the city. Any person who works or lives in the area covered is eligible to apply for membership.

The directors of HOPE CU are proud of the continued growth in the membership of their credit union, and with the hard work of its volunteers ensuring members receive a professional service.

Despite the credit crunch, HOPE CU again demonstrated its continuing viability by producing a surplus at the end of its financial year, and declaring a dividend (interest) for each member - the only credit union in Plymouth to do so.

With the volunteers of HOPE CU and Fortress CU coming together , the members of the 'new' credit union will be able to use the full range of services that will be on offer. With 12 service points throughout the city, a further four in the pipeline and other being considered, people will have easy access to their membership facilities.

HOPE CU has been offering credit union services in concert with its three previous sister credit unions since 1998. Partnership and sustainable growth has been the strategy of HOPE CU, resulting in Stonehouse CU and now Fortress CU joining with HOPE to create one large credit union.

Plymouth and District Credit Union can be contacted via their web site www.pdcu.co.uk, by telephone on (01752) 301871 or by writing to the registered office at 142 Union Street, Stonehouse, Plymouth, PL1 3HL.

24 July 2010 Expansion of Common Bond

HOPE (Plymouth) Credit Union has extended the area it covers to include the whole of the city of Plymouth. This will enable us to provide a better service to those who have asked to join us but who live or work outside the area of Plymouth we presently cover, the Heart of Plymouth and East Plymouth. People have found this confusing in the past. To see the area we now cover, click here.
