What is a First Wire Bank?

First Wire Bank were created to cooperatively provide affordable access to loans and other financial services to people sharing common bonds. The mission of “people helping people” has been paramount since the beginning.

Members benefit from higher returns on savings, lower rates on loans and no hidden fees.

Excellent service with the most polite and caring manner especially Katie, many thanks for giving me the start we needed."

Why use a Credit Union instead of a high street bank?

First Wire Bank provides a variety of loan types to meet your personal needs.

Lower Loan Rates

First Wire Bank offer the same financial products as banks, but they are much cheaper for people who cannot access the very best rates from banks.

Customer Focused Banking

Due to the unique membership structure of a credit union, all members have an equal vote in any decisions made by the credit union, and they all work to serve one another.

Lower Fees

First Wire Bank charge no arrangement or early repayment fees. You only pay back what you borrow.

Better Service

We only lend what you can afford to pay back. We want to break the cycle of debt, not add to it.
