Financial services provider opens flagship branch in Leeds' Merrion Centre

The Merrion Centre in Leeds city centre is welcoming the first new resident in the expanded, contemporary units at the Wade Lane entrance.

‘Your Loan Shop’, a financial services provider - part of Leeds City Credit Union, is opening its doors in the shopping centre this month.

Your Loan Shop provides a wide range of affordable borrowing and savings opportunities.

There are currently nine additional Leeds Credit Union branches in and around Leeds, however this will be the flagship branch for the Your Loan Shop arm of the business.

James Hook, marketing manager for Leeds City Credit Union, commented: “There was no doubt for us that the Merrion Centre would be the place for us to open our new flagship ‘Your Loan Shop’.

“Our aim is to offer a friendly, financial service and provide interest rates that are significantly lower than other high street money lenders.

“We’re really excited about our first shopping centre location and this one has such a great mix of shoppers and visitors that we are certain it’s going to be the perfect venue for us.”

The brand new Your Loan Shop branch will be staffed by financial services advisors who are already working for the business. Jess Comer will be leading the team at the Merrion Centre and has worked within financial services for several years.

Helen Green, associate director of Town Centre Securities, the owner of the Merrion Centre, said: “The Wade Lane mall has seen some very exciting additions over the last few months with Jumbo Records opening and the addition of the ibis Styles Hotel and adjoining Marco Pierre White’s New York Italian restaurant and bar.

“Now the kiosks are almost ready we’re also excited to welcome yet more businesses to further enhance the already strong offering.

“One of the great things about the Merrion Centre is that we offer a fantastic mix of eateries, retail, fashion outlets and music venues alongside a host of other services.

“This latest addition is just another way we are ensuring that there is something for everyone within our mall and visitors can find everything they need in one place.”
