Solent Credit Union

The Eastleigh area is now served by Solent Credit Union, which has joined forces with Eastleigh Credit Union, to provide a greater range of services and benefits to new and existing members.

Credit Unions help their members save regularly and provide affordable loans. Any surplus of funds is paid to members as a dividend.

A Credit Union is run and owned by the members, who work for the benefit of other members and the local community. The activities of the credit union are regulated by the Financial Services Authority
