About Clockwise Credit Union

Written by the company

loans We are a fair, responsible and people focused credit union, providing a range of financial products and services to the local communities of Leicester, Leicestershire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Coventry and Warwickshire.

Credit unions can consider all loan applications from people in our communities, regardless of background, including those who are in receipt of benefits. A credit Union is also a not-for-profit organisation, our focus is on improving the financial well-being of our members and helping the local community.

How we can help

Loans

loans We offer loans from £50 up to £15,000 and with fast decisions online, no hidden fees or penalties and we consider all applicants, regardless of circumstances.

Savings

loans Our flexible, easy access savings accounts offer great value for everyone! Whatever you are saving for, saving regularly helps you to manage your money better.

Current Account

loans Manage your normal day-to-day spending. You can pay bills, set up direct debits or standing orders and receive any salary or benefit payments.

Why we are different

What sets us apart from mainstream banking institutions is that we are a not for profit co-operative organisation. This means that money that members make and save from being a member stays in the local community. By coming together as a co-operative it gives all members access to low cost loans, as little as 8.7% APR.

As an ethical lender we assess each loan application on individual circumstances thereby enabling us to consider everyone, irrespective of their credit status or personal circumstances.

When you join Clockwise you benefit from becoming a shareholder; and all cash surplus generated is divided between our members as interest on savings & rewards for good borrowers.

Members are central to everything we do and are the heart of our strategy.

Quick and easy process

It was my first time using any credit union. I didnt have photo ID, so the selfie picture is a great idea. From first starting the loan process to actually getting the loan in my bank was 2 weeks n this was because I didn't have photo ID so had to get relevant paper work that could be used. The people who dealt with me from the Nottingham based office were professional, polite and extremely helpful. My overall experience has been great so far.

Don’t be afraid to talk the advisors are great

I have been a a clockwise customer for almost two years and each time I have needed assistance the girls and guys on the other end on the phone are always so patient and helpful. They make sure to explain everything clearly to ensure you as the customer don’t feel like details have been missed. Their telephone manner is so good, I don’t usually like talking on the phone especially when it involves finances but everyone I have spoken to ensures to keep the conversation light and I don’t mind having the tougher conversations.
