Fantastic service, the process is swift and easy. I felt I was considered as a person and not an automated score. I am proud to be a member.

10 out of 10 as always

Serve and Protect have been brilliant since I opened an account. I applied for a second loan while overseas and they made this very easy. Thank you for everything I now live a better life.

Roy

Savings and loans could not be easier

I have been a member for many years, since the early days of the credit union. Savings and loans could not be easier. Staff are always helpful and prompt to respond to questions.

Rik

West Midlands Police

It really is a ‘No Brainer’

Not-for-profit means MORE money in interest on savings and LESS interest on loans. It really is a ‘No Brainer’. Credit unions are better for the customer than banks!

David

Essex Police

I’ve really enjoyed saving with Serve and Protect

I’ve really enjoyed saving with Serve and Protect. I don’t notice the regular contributions from my salary, but they build up so quickly and create a significant savings pot I can use for unexpected things that always crop up in life. And it’s good to know that I’m part of a bigger community which I hope means I’m helping others in a small way. It’s reassuring to know it goes both ways and they’re there for me I need them too.

Mike

Northumbria Police

Makes it easy to save

Serve and Protect Credit Union makes it easy to save, with no risk, but good rewards with a yearly dividend paid to all members. It makes you feel valued and part of a family by looking after you and your money. With lots of competition for your savings, that really does give you peace of mind.

Peter

I have always enjoyed excellent service

I have been a member of this credit union for many years and I have always enjoyed excellent service, both as a saver and borrower. I would recommend it to anyone eligible to join!

Bryan

There are no hidden catches, just big benefits

I have been a member now for over 30 years. My savings are taken from my salary which makes it easier. I have had numerous loans over the years when I needed bailing out. Joining is a ‘No Brainer’. Just do yourself a favour and join. There are no hidden catches, just big benefits.

Mick

West Midlands Police

The credit union is a great ‘friend’

Easy to save. Easy to withdraw savings. Easy to apply for a loan. The credit union is a great ‘friend’, especially when the going gets tough, they’re there for you!

John

Merseyside Police

It has helped my own family when they needed assistance

I have been a member for many years and used the facility to save and borrow. It has helped my own family when they needed assistance instead of going to banks and paying lots of interest. I am also happy knowing the money I save is there to help other people as well.

Allen

Merseyside Police

It’s perfect

I really love how easily (and painless) Serve and Protect make it to save. I just put a little aside so I’ve got cash to spend at Christmas and it’s perfect. I also like the fact it’s our credit union and my savings help support that.

Phil

Devon & Cornwall Police

This organisation is a ‘must’!

Nikki

Sussex Police

The credit union are there for us all

I was a struggling, single parent with no great credit at the time and in a few clicks Serve and Protect helped me get back on track. No quibble, no negative impact. That was nearly 10 years ago. Still have my little savings account and a positive credit score. The credit union are there for us all.

Chris

West Midlands Police

I’ve matured into a responsible saver

Since this great organisation started, I have been a member. Before this I had always been a poor saver, living in a permanent bank overdraft and a limited financial future. With the help of Serve and Protect, I’ve matured into a responsible saver, who enjoys the smugness of paying off a loan early!

Darren

Cleveland Fire Brigade

Couldn't be happier

Everything went smoothly, no hidden fees, awkward application or unjustified interest rates. In fact I was offered better interest rates than any other mainstream lender! I will not look past serve and protect for any future finance or saving needs. I’d recommend to any of my friends and family.
