"Save, Borrow, Plan for Tomorrow..."

Here's how YOU could help improve your employees' well-being for free:

Partners Credit Union is a financial cooperative. When people join, they are able to save safely (savings covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme), and borrow money affordably. Surplus funds are shared between those who save with the Credit Union annually.

Because Partners Credit Union is a not-for-profit organisation, loan interest is kept low, keeping members’ spare cash firmly in their own pockets.

How you can help: Payroll Deduction

Payroll Deduction is one of the most convenient ways for members to access Credit Union services. Savings are taken directly from the member’s pay (this process is very straightforward and requires little input from the employer), and paid into the member’s Credit Union account.

Partners Credit Union handles all communications and queries, as well as the operation of the account.

Partners Credit Union makes no charge to the employer or the member for the provision of Payroll Deduction services.

Partners has been operating payroll deduction services since 1993. Below is a list of some of the employers currently offering this convenient service as an employee benefit:

Liverpool City Council -  St Helens Council  -  Helena Housing 

Hospitals Trust  -  Many Schools   -  Merseyside Fire Service  -  and more…
