Credit union savings and loans for members of the UK Armed Forces
Forces Finance makes it easy for UK armed forces personnel to build savings and to borrow at low rates, with savings and credit union loans deducted directly from a Ministry of Defence salary.

Why we exist
Building the financial strength of our armed forces
Serving your country brings lots of challenges—professional, personal and financial. The complexities of Forces life mean that sometimes, it’s hard to plan financially for the long-term. Civilian-oriented financial providers aren’t always geared up for the individual circumstances or complex address histories that are typical in the Armed Forces, and things can get especially tricky when you are looking to borrow.

Since 2015, the Ministry of Defence has partnered with Forces Finance, alongside two other UK credit unions, to provide a solution as part of its commitments made in the Armed Forces Covenant. As not-for-profit, member-owned institutions, credit unions are designed around the needs of our members, and based around an individual, personal approach.

Our salary deducted tools make it straightforward to build savings over your career, and to borrow conveniently when you need to, no matter where your Forces career might take you
