Moneywise Credit Union

The leading Credit Union in North East England, offering low cost loans and accessible savings to residents and workers in Tyne and Wear, Northumberland, Teesside and County Durham.

Moneywise is a Credit Union based Newcastle upon-Tyne providing savings and affordable loans to those who work or live in Tyne and Wear, Teesside, Northumberland and County Durham. Started up in 1990 as a Workplace Credit Union, the “Newcastle City Council Employees Credit Union” expanded and adapted over the next 12 years to include councillors, the entire workforce of Newcastle city council and associated bodies such as the Tyne Tunnel, the Theatre Royal, and trade union staff.

In 2003 the Credit Union expanded to include anyone working or living in Newcastle upon Tyne and Longbenton and changed its name to Moneywise. Since then it has merged with several smaller Credit Unions and study groups and expanded to cover Tyne and Wear and County Durham.

In 2017 we merged with Tees Credit Union to make us bigger and stronger and allow us to serve members across the North East.
