Whether you’re planning home improvements, buying a new car, or looking to consolidate existing borrowing, Derbyshire Community Bank offers affordable loans tailored to your needs. With competitive rates, flexible repayments, and friendly local support, we make borrowing simple, transparent, and stress-free.
All of our loans include a Holding Saver Account, helping you build savings while you borrow and supporting long-term financial wellbeing. We believe saving is just as important as borrowing, which is why we encourage every member to develop positive financial habits while working towards their goals with confidence.
We take our responsibility to our members and community seriously. As a responsible lender, our goal is to provide fair and affordable credit that supports, rather than strains, your financial wellbeing.
We carefully assess every loan application to ensure that repayments are affordable and manageable over the full term of the loan.
This means all loan applications are subject to checks on affordability and repayment capacity checks, helping us make sure that borrowing is sustainable and suited to each member’s circumstances.

We have a special savings account called a Holding Saver. It’s not a typical savings account you dip in and out of — instead, it’s a secure place where money is held while it’s linked to your loan.
The Holding Saver is designed to support your loan. It ensures
Your repayments are processed smoothly.
Any linked savings (such as Save as You Borrow) are held securely until your loan is fully repaid.
You build up a small savings pot alongside your borrowing, which becomes available once the loan is cleared.

If you have any difficulty in repaying your loan then contact us immediately. Don’t ignore problems and hope they go away – usually they get worse and are more difficult to resolve.
