We are a not-for-profit Financial Service for anyone who lives or works within the boundaries of the City of Sunderland.

We offer many of the services of a bank; however we do not have share or stockholders to pay so we don’t have to make them a profit. Being a mutual organisation means ALL our profits are given back to you, our members.
