    The credit union itself is definitely genuine. I think that the site is probably legitimate but before I'd use them I'd seek confirmation of the correct contact details from a place other than that web site. It shows too many signs of being a clone site for me to want to just trust it with money or financial details.

    Apart from anything else already said its a member of http://www.abcul.org, the London Fire and Rescue Service allow it to have an office in its HQ, and numerous fire services authorise pay roll deductions to it .

    It use to be called the London Fire Savers Credit Union.

    Yes, the credit union itself is definitely genuine. The only question is whether that site is really operated by the credit union or not.

    Given that Kesho’s systems produced the first Windows based Credit Union accounting system launched in 1998, and on the Kesho,s systems site (Alan <a>London Firesavers Credit Union) gives a useful tip.I would imagine they are clients of Kesho,s.

    That combined with the registration of the site does substantially increase the chance of it being their genuine site, thanks!
