Credit Unions and Credit Reports

Quick Question from a novice... Do credit unions show up on a credit report?

If a deposit has been made into a credit union do these show on a credit report at all? likewise does a loan from a credit union show on a report as well.

Many thanks in advance.

    I would imagine a loan would show up as it's a loan.

    I have had a loan from a credit union that didn't show up on any credit report.

    I would assume it's down to the individual credit union whether to report?

    Strange one, I've often wondered that.

    I've been with the credit union for around 10 years and they have never shown up on my credit reports - experian, clear score, Equifax etc
