MOD Update: Credit union service for Defence people celebrates 10-year anniversary
Credit union service for Defence people celebrates 10-year anniversary
This month marks 10 years since the launch of Joining Forces – the collaboration of three credit unions, established to help Service Personnel and Defence civil servants save regularly and borrow responsibly.
The Joining Forces Credit Union (JFCU) service – which now supports over 27,000 members – provides a range of simple savings accounts and affordable loans, to help Service Personnel (Regulars and Reservists), veterans, and their families access financial products. Repayments can be made straight from military pay or pension.
Defence Civil Servants can also use the service, with saving and loan repayments made via Direct Debit – rather than payroll deduction.
