Our History

Police Credit was founded in 1974 by a group of Police officers and has been servicing members for more than 30 years.

Today, Police Credit is one of the largest credit co-operatives in Victoria, offering a wide range of financial services to specific sectors of the community – emergency services, the health industry and government departments, as well as families and friends.

Police Credit is wholly owned by its members, who are all equal shareholders.

Our Philosophy

As a co-operative, we are not focused on profits or paying dividends to shareholders. Our members are our priority, so all profits from Police Credit products and services are reinvested into our organisation – and members directly benefit. Our key responsibility is to help our members to achieve a more secure financial future.

Our mission is to assist members in maximising their financial wellbeing and security, by providing a convenient, secure place to save and an economical place to borrow. We offer a wide range of financial services to specific sectors of the community. Once a member, always a member.

If you are transferred or leave your current employment, you can still retain Police Credit membership and continue to enjoy the benefits of our products and services.
