Why do I need to become a member of the credit union?
The way credit unions are set up, everyone who wants to open an account with them needs to become a member. Becoming a member is quick and easy and you will not be charged for this. You just need to meet one of the following criteria:
- Have a job that matches the membership requirements
- Be a member of an applicable trade union or association (e.g. Coop, National Trust, UNISON)
- Share a household with an existing member of My Community Bank or Castle Community Bank
You can read through the membership requirements for My Community Bank here, and Castle Community Bank here.
