The good news is the Credit Union is now extending its hours from one day a week to three days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, at New Cross Learning. Credit Unions are a great alternative to banks for ethical savings and loans. They are run as co-operatives owned by the members. Members create a pool of money from which low cost loans are made and any profits are reinvested.
Lewisham Plus Credit Union was founded in 1992 and merged with New Cross and Deptford Credit Union back in 2010. It serves over 9,000 members with anyone living or working in the borough of Lewisham or Bromley or with an SE19 post code able to join. There are over 1,500 junior savers and there’s a new exciting account for 8 – 16 year olds called Smartcash. You can go into NX Learning any Wednesday (soon to be extended) and open an account or you can apply for an account online by visiting http://www.lewishampluscu.co.uk/#. To find out more pop along to NX Learning, 283 -285 New Cross Road any Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and ask for the Credit Union.
