Founded in 1968, Bishopstown Credit Union is a local, not-for-profit financial institution that is owned and controlled by its members. Its mission is to provide accessible savings, fair loans, and a range of other financial services to the community it serves. Unlike commercial banks, any surplus generated is returned to the members through dividends and improved services, or reinvested into the community. The credit union operates under a "common bond" principle, meaning membership is open to individuals living or working within a specific geographical area.
