Dial-A-Cab Credit Union Limited and Harp Credit Union Limited enter administration

Dial-A-Cab Credit Union Limited

On 4 September 2018, the High Court appointed Jo Milner and Stephen Cork of Cork Gully LLP as administrators of Dial-A-Cab Credit Union Limited. This followed an unannounced visit by its regulators to the credit union’s offices. Dial-A-Cab Credit Union Limited is regulated by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under Firm Reference Number (FRN) 213263 as a deposit-taker.

Both the PRA and FCA will continue to work closely with the firm during the administration to ensure that members are treated fairly. The FCA and PRA are liaising with the police and the FCA has commenced an investigation.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is stepping in to protect customers and return money to most of the credit union’s 1,250 members within its seven day target; covering up to £85,000 for individuals and up to £170,000 for joint accounts.
