We believe everyone in Derbyshire deserves to experience it.

At Derbyshire Community Bank, everything we do is rooted in financial wellbeing — the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re in control of your day-to-day finances, prepared for life’s ups and downs, and working towards a better future.

What Is Financial Wellbeing?

Financial wellbeing means more than just having money in the bank. It’s about feeling:

  • Confident managing your finances

  • Prepared for unexpected expenses

  • Able to make choices that let you enjoy life

  • In control of debt, not overwhelmed by it

  • Hopeful about the future

Why It Matters to Us

As a credit union, Derbyshire Community Bank exists for people, not for profit. We’re owned by our members — people like you — and we’re here to make a difference, not to maximise profit. That’s why financial wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do.

We support financial wellbeing through:

  • Affordable loans that help you borrow safely and responsibly

  • Savings accounts that reward regular saving — even small amounts

  • Payroll Save & Borrow schemes that make saving simple and automatic

  • Christmas savings accounts that reduce stress during expensive times of year

  • Digital inclusion efforts to ensure everyone can manage their money online with confidence

Our Social Impact

We’re proud to play a positive role in Derbyshire. By helping people build savings, avoid high-cost credit, and manage money more confidently, we’re building stronger households and healthier communities.

We also work in partnership with:

  • Local councils and employers

  • Community groups

  • The Good Things Foundation and digital inclusion networks

  • Housing associations and charities

 

Real Support for Real Lives

Payroll Savings

Small savings straight from your wages — before you even notice it. Helps build a cushion for the future.

Christmas Saver

Lock away money throughout the year, and open it in November — so Christmas costs don’t become New Year stress.

Money Tips & Tools

Workshops, guides, and friendly support to help you budget, save, and borrow well — because financial wellbeing is a journey.
