Welcome to Acorn Community Bank
We aim to help all our members achieve financial health. We try to help people get on top of their finances by encouraging them to save money when they can, and we lend to them at affordable rates when they need to borrow.
We operate under the same rules and regulations as any other bank. But unlike high street banks, we are a cooperative, owned by our members and run for their benefit.
We work in the local communities in the counties of Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. You are welcome to visit us in our main office in Cavendish Square, Swindon, or at one of our community points.
How we protect your money
Just like your high street banks and building societies, the money you deposit into your credit union account is protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This guarantees your money is safe: up to £85,000 for an individual account, and up to £170,000 for joint accounts.
FSCS protection is free to customers, so if anything happens to your bank, building society or credit union, and you cannot access your money, the FSCS will refund you up to the amount of £85,000.
