Key points from the data include:

  • Credit Union adult membership grew 0.33% to 2.16 million in 2025 Q1.
  • The total value of assets held by UK Credit Unions rebounded slightly in 2025 Q1, increasing 0.14% to £4.89 billion after the first quarterly fall since records began in 2024 Q4. 
  • Quarterly income and expenditure reported by UK Credit Unions in 2025 Q1 retracted from the record levels posted last quarter. Income fell by 12.98% to £99.62 million, and expenditure fell by 15.76% to £86.83 million quarter-on-quarter. 
  • Interim profit increased by 12.24% to £12.77 million in 2025 Q1, driven by increases in England and Scotland, as falls in total income were offset by even greater falls in total expenditure in both regions.
