Derbyshire Community Bank is a credit union, a not-for-profit financial co-operative, owned and controlled by its members.
Our vision is for the Credit Union to offer high quality, fair and community focused financial services for all people living and working in Derbyshire. The Credit Union will combat financial exclusion by working in partnership to provide sustainable access to safe savings and affordable loans for all those living or working in the County of Derbyshire.
As a financial not-for-profit co-operative. Derbyshire Community Bank is ‘owned’ by the 4,000 members who save and borrow with the credit union. Unlike a conventional bank, a Credit Union is run by the people who use it. All of our adult members can vote on decisions at our Annual General Meeting or volunteer for one of our committees or board.
The board of directors are unpaid volunteers and bring their skills and experience to the running of the credit union and ensure compliance with our statutory duties.
We have 9 staff members at our office in Derby who manage the day-to-day operation led by our CEO Phil Cole
We have a great team here in Derbyshire Community Bank & their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. They are the engine that drives the Credit Union machine and everything we strive to do! Meet The Team.
