Everyone benefits from having savings - no matter how much or how little money you have. Having some savings 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 Bristol Credit Union we make it as easy as possible, with a variety of savings accounts and several ways to save. Whether it's in cash at our office or service points, with a standing order, direct from your wages or benefits, or with a Paypoint card it's easy to get the savings habit. We even offer save-from-pay schemes with selected employers.
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!
