About Us

Who are we?

Founded in 1986, a small group of Greater Manchester Police officers came together with one clear purpose: to look after their own. At a time when strict rules around personal debt meant some officers were at risk of losing their homes, and even their jobs, they chose to act. By pooling their savings, they offered personal loans for colleagues to borrow affordably, keeping every penny of profit within the policing community. That idea became GMP Credit Union.

As the years went on, the vision grew. A merger with CopperPot Credit Union in Leicestershire Police brought two like‑minded organisations together, and No1 CopperPot Credit Union was born. We expanded across the country and now support over 50,000 members from all UK Police forces, making us the biggest police credit union in the UK.

What hasn’t changed is the principle we were founded on: people helping people. We have no shareholders, only members who share in our success each year because they’re not our profits, they’re yours. And we remain dedicated to supporting the police family with savings, loans, mortgages direct from payroll and financial education designed to make life a little easier.

They were very professional through the whole process, very easy to talk to over the phone and they get things sorted as soon as they can. The process was smooth and then sent me over everything I needed to do and they sorted all the rest. I had no problem and no stress whatsoever.
