Metro Moneywise Credit Union Ltd an employee based credit union are looking to expand. Due to recent changes to the Credit Union Act 1979 we can now offer membership to any company or organisation in the Greater Manchester Area who wish to have the facility of a staff credit union.

Membership of Metro Moneywise Credit Union offers a unique and free employee benefit for all organisations and companies in the Borough of Rochdale.

Offering payroll deduction facilities for your employees gives them the opportunity to save directly from their salary. The administrative work is kept to a minimum.

Employees elect the amount they want to save; the HR or Payroll department deduct the nominated amount and send it to the credit union where it is allocated to the employee’s savings account.

'Tens of thousands of employees in Britain benefit from credit union membership which give them an easy and convenient way to save and borrow. Through payroll deduction, savings are taken straight from wages before they are paid into bank accounts. This painless way of saving helps people get a savings habit and also give them access to affordable loans, other financial services and a source of information about money matters. Money worries are a major cause of stress and helping people to better manage their money is an easy way to reduce this stress and make for a happier and more productive workforce' – Association of British Credits Unions Ltd

Metro Moneywise Credit Union are based in Rochdale and have recently become a member of Manchester Chamber of Commerce.

We were established in 1989 for employees of Rochdale Council, we now have numerous employer partners, notably the NHS Pennine Care Acute, NHS Pennine Care Foundation, Greater Manchester Probation Services and many more.

As with all credit unions we are a not-for profit financial co-operative, controlled and owned by our members with no outside shareholders to pay, this has enabled us to always pay an annual dividend, last year’s dividend was 2.25% on instant access savings. We are authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.
