A CREDIT union service is now available to Borderers for the first time.
SBC headquarters at Newtown St Boswells last week saw the launch of the Caledonian Credit Union within the region.
The West Lothian-based service will now promote its ethical savings and affordable loans to everyone living or working within the Borders.
Councillor Robin Tatler, SBC’s executive member for public safety and resilience, said: “This is a major step forward for the Scottish Borders, what this development means is that any person living in the Borders will be able to become a member of the Caledonian Credit Union and save and borrow affordably from an ethical member owned co-operative.
“As part of the partnership the council is providing a development officer who will help promote the service across the Borders.”
Anyone wishing to become a member can join for free online at www.caledoniancu.co.uk or download the mobile app.
