Open a credit union account
Local Credit Unions are a great place to squirrel away those savings and thanks to our relationships with local Credit Unions, you can save directly from your salary in 3 easy steps:
- Open an account with a Credit Union. Find one local to you.
- Once membership is complete, complete our easy-to-use salary savings scheme.
- Sit back and watch your savings grow.
Signing up is free and safe with your savings completely protected by the government’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme. This means that savings of up to £85,000 will be refunded to you, should the credit union collapse.
Whatever you can afford to save each month adds up over time.
