About Us

We're here for you

With a rich history of 30 years, we have grown to be one of the UK’s largest Credit Unions. We currently serve over 25,000 members around the UK.

In 2015, we were selected by the Ministry of Defence to provide serving Armed Forces personnel, veterans, and their families with simple savings and affordable loans.

We help you become financially resilient

As part of the Ministry of Defence’s goal to help serving personnel become financially resilient, First Defence Finance helps those who serve with savings and loans from their pay.
