Credit Unions for the self-employed

Hi All

I'm looking to find a credit union I can join as a self employed person, preferably online. I've had a bit of a Google, but would really appreciate some advice.

Thanks in advance x

    There are a small number of exceptions, but Credit Unions are mainly set up to serve communities in an area. So the best thing to do would be to find one in your area by looking here:

    AFAIK none discriminate in any way against the self-employed. Their decisions on loans will be based upon your credit history, and many (but not all) will want members to demonstrate an ability to save before they will lend to them.
