Dear Members,
Thursday was a day we’ll never forget. 💜
We’re incredibly proud to have been recognised at the 2026 Consumer Credit Awards, taking home:
🏆 Credit Union of the Year
🏆 Best Credit Union (North)
🏆 Best Credit Union Savings Provider
But these awards really aren’t about us…they’re about YOU.
Every review you left and every vote you cast. Every time you chose to save or borrow with us, recommended us to a friend or family member, visited one of our branches or simply shared a kind word of support, it has all helped us reach this moment.
These awards belong to every one of our members, because without you, there simply wouldn’t be an ECU.
Over the past few months, we’ve asked you to leave reviews, cast votes and support us throughout the awards. So now, we’ll give you all a well-earned break from us asking you to do anything…until we blink, it’s next year and we’re asking for your votes all over again! 👀
Who knows…maybe next year we’ll be chasing a Credit Union of the Year hat-trick. 😉
But for now, we’ll simply say thank you for believing in us, supporting us and being part of our journey.
You’re better off with us…and we’re better because of you. 💜
We’re also delighted to congratulate our two lucky members, Eve and Rhian, who have each won £500 into their Christmas Savings Account.
Congratulations to you both, we hope it gives your Christmas savings a fantastic boost! 🎄
ECU Team 💜
