How secure is my money?

What savings return will I get?

You may receive a return on your savings in the form of an annual dividend. Our annual dividend is based on the surplus profits of the credit union, and is proposed by the Board to the membership at our Annual General Meeting each year.

An annual dividend is paid gross, directly into your account after the AGM. Since no tax is deducted, it is your responsibility to disclose the dividend to the HMRC.

Will my savings be tax-free?

Your savings with the credit union are not tax-free. If you are saving from your pay, salary deductions will be made from your net pay after taxes have been deducted.

How do I open an account?

Opening a Regular Savings Account gives you membership to the credit union. All members are required to save between £10 and £1,000 per month into a Regular Saver account. Membership entitles you to open other savings accounts and apply for a loan, if you’re aged 18 or over.

If you are eligible, you can complete our online application, which usually takes 5-10 minutes.
