Can credit union replace my bank account?
Simple answer - no we can't. We do provide savings and loans, but we don't do transactional banking and don't offer a current account.
We do offer the Engage Account provided by our partner Contis. This is a pre-paid debitcard account, with sortcode and account number which many of our Members use as their main account for paying bills, contactless payments, etc. To find out more about the Engage Account see our website
