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!
