Credit Unions vs. Banks

Credit unions are member-owned financial cooperatives, typically serving a defined "common bond" (geographic area, employer, or association). They offer savings, loans, and sometimes current accounts, but with different regulation and deposit protection (FSCS covers up to £85,000).
