Check Your “Common Bond” Membership Eligibility
To join Eastern Savings & Loans Credit Union, members must share a “common bond” based on legal requirements. Our common bond is that our members must live, work, study, or volunteer in Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, or specific Central and North Essex postcodes. This shared connection ensures a trusted and community-focused membership base.
