Save With Us

"This could be the easiest way you’ve ever saved!"

Everyone benefits from regular saving, it allows us to work towards our financial goals and gives us peace of mind should an emergency arise.

Committing yourself to a regular saving pattern can be difficult but at the Credit Union its easy with various options available i.e.: payroll deduction through one of our sponsoring employers, standing order, paypoint card, cash/cheque/postal order.

Credit Union members can save at an affordable level be it £1 or £100. Small regular amounts soon add up and remember at the Credit Union you are not just another customer, but a co-owning member of an organisation which provides security and protection.

The tables below give examples of how regular savings can soon add up!
