We are excited to share an important update: West Cheshire Credit Union is becoming Cheshire Community Bank.

While our name is changing, our purpose remains the same—to support local people with fair, straightforward and responsible financial services.

Why the change?

Our new name reflects who we are today and where we are going. As we continue to grow and support more people across Cheshire and Flintshire, we wanted a name that clearly represents our strong community focus, our modern and approachable way of banking, and our commitment to making financial services feel more accessible.

What stays the same?

Although our name is changing, everything that matters stays the same:

  • The same friendly local team
  • The same fair and affordable loans
  • The same secure savings accounts
  • The same commitment to supporting our members

Looking ahead

This rebrand marks an exciting step forward. We will be introducing improvements over time to make your experience even better, while staying true to the values and local roots that have always guided us.

We are proud of our history and excited for the future.

“This change reflects where we are today and where we're heading. While the name is new, our purpose remains the same—to support our community with fair, responsible and straightforward financial services.”

Paul Woodworth, CEO

Cheshire Community Bank—banking that gives back.
