About Us
We have a proud history spanning 56 years of helping local people with their finances. As well as offering great low cost personal banking services, we are also actively involved in our community, through sponsorship and by doing our part for the environment.
Who We Are
We’re a local credit union, 100% kiwi owned and operated, based in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty. We’re here to help make your personal finances easier & manageable.
History
We were New Zealand’s first affiliated credit union and our success was thanks to the dedicated volunteers who rallied together to promote the “people helping people” philosophy.
