The clerk was very helpful – perhaps even eager – in wanting me to open an account. I definitely will, as a result of her pleasant encouragement.

About HEY Credit Union

Written by the company

Established in 1999, we are the leading credit union for people in the UK’s Humber Region.

As a co-operative, we’re owned and controlled by our Member-customers. Everything we do is for their benefit.

Members enjoy simple saving and borrowing options to make the most of their money. Access is online, by phone or by visiting one of our community branches where our friendly team loves to help.

Our Services

If you live (employed or not) or work in the City of Hull, East Yorkshire, North or North-East Lincolnshire, or work for selected employers further afield, you are eligible to join.

Savings Accounts - We offer easy access accounts, a Christmas Saver that locks funds safely away for festive spends, and Junior saving for the special children in your life. All FSCS protected. Encouraging people to catch a savings habit is our passion. Also save-as-you-earn through our employer partners.

Affordable Loans – if you wish to borrow (from £100 to £20,000) on fair and responsible terms, think of us. Lending decisions are made by people, not computers. We carefully assess each applicant's situation, focus on affordability and tailor repayments sensibly. Unlike many lenders, our rates are capped by law.

Our Mission

We are here to help our members to afford their lives and support their financial well-being – not to make profit out of them.

All members have an equal say in how we operate and we work with a range of partner organisations to make a big social impact.

Brill for ppl that struggle to save!

I am a person who is unable to save money and always seem to earn it but never have any to spend!! This service has been a huge benefit to me. It was very simple to set up, staff were easily contactable if needed and I was very impressed with how straight forward the transfer of fund was when I requested them. I will definitely be continuing next year with a higher monthly saving rate.

No communications

I applied for a loan and savings account a while back, except from the email to upload documents and a hard search on my credit file. I have not had any response or communications from them.

So I assume I was unsuccessful and in turn means denied a savings account. I like their idea of a community driven bank, but shame they don't communicate when you apply to them.

Hi Glenn, we apologise for not getting back to you as quickly as we normally would. At this time of year it can take a little longer to respond because of the big increase in applications. I understand you have now spoken with one of our team re next steps. Thank you for your patience.

I could put in as much as I wanted each week. It was safely out of sight and mind and because it can't be withdrawn ad-lib, I knew I had something to draw out in time for Christmas.
I'm doing it again this year.

Thank you!

Staff at Goole branch are helpful, friendly and supportive. Great to have a knowledgeable, local banking facility for Friends of West Park, who understand our needs as a small community group of volunteers. We moved from a large bank who lacked the personal touch and don't regret the decision.

If you have a cardit union around you give the team a call because after 11 years of being turned down by everyone and my bank which I have been with 30 years I got the help from the cardit union my name is David roberts and have had the trust put back in me so don't worry about things like I have over the past 11 years just give the cardit union a call

Saving with the Credit Union is a…lifesaver

Saving with the Credit Union is a lifesaver ! I use the Christmas Saver which is great for me as I'm terrible at saving and this does not allow me to withdraw funds until November so its fabulous to have money for Christmas . The Grimsby team are friendly and approachable and nothing is too much trouble for them. Also the £25 bonus in the first year is amazing and a great incentive to join. i fully recommend saving with this group.

Trying to withdraw funds

Trying to withdraw funds from your account online is very very confusing. I'm just going round in circles as there are no clear instructions as far as I can see that make it easy.
It's very frustrating, the website isn't easy to navigate at all. All i want to do is withdraw some christmas funds and it's like Krypton Factor...!!! Not happy

Just amazing! I have been with HEYCU for a number of years now and they have been great. Applied for loan for a trip away, they couldn’t have done more to make sure I received the money in time. Cannot recommend enough :)

Matthew has been absolutely fantastic over the last few weeks helping me consolidate my finances. At one of the hardest times in my life he offered full support and active listening and was very efficient throughout.

He remained open and honest about options available to me, and maintained contact throughout my process.

I am now on the road to financial freedom, thanks to help and support of the team and Matthew.

Thank you
