Membership has grown from 94 in 2000 to around 400 in March 2018. NEFCU therefore meets the needs of a large widespread rural community, with a target customer base of approximately 76,000. NEFCU's aims are to: • Encourage members to save • Use and control members' savings, wholly for the benefit of members • Educate members in the wise use of money • Provide loans to members at a reasonable rate of interest. They strive to provide a locally-based, friendly, informal service, while maintaining strict standards of confidentiality, on a voluntary basis and at low cost. The credit union is wholly managed and operated by unpaid volunteers drawn from its membership. Of the 23 volunteers, 9 serve as members of the Board, which meets monthly. A small team runs the back-office operation at their office in Castlehill, Cupar, rented from Castlehill Association.
