Benefits of being a member
When you join South West Credit, you are not just a customer - you are a member and South West Credit is run by its members.
Becoming a member of South West Credit means you subscribe for a member share which is a redeemable preference share. This means that if you close your membership, we refund you the subscription price. Your member share is not transferable.
When you buy shares in South West Credit, you become a part owner - on equal standing with every other member. This means we are not subject to pressure from external shareholders to increase our profits. Our profits belong to our members and are returned through better interest rates, lower fees and increased services.
So how do you become a member?
- Apply online for one of our friendly staff to contact you; or
- Call into our office and we can open a membership for you
We've even made it easy to switch your accounts form your existing institution to South West Credit! Find out more about our online account switching service.
