Here to help Borough Market employees make their money go further

Borough Market has partnered with London Mutual Credit Union to make salary-deducted savings and loans available to all its employees as an optional employee benefit.

Save through payroll

Money you choose to save comes straight out of your pay, before you can spend it. Even a few pounds a week adds up.

Fair, affordable loans

The rate depends on how much you borrow, the same for every member. No hidden fees, and no charge for paying back early.

Local and member-owned

A not-for-profit credit union based in Southwark, owned by its members. Any money it makes goes back into better rates and service.

Financial wellbeing support
