Why Save With Us?

We make saving easy!

Putting some money away regularly is the best way of saving up for expensive things, like a holiday, car, or a wedding. It can also be a good way of making sure you have money to pay for emergencies such as needing to replace an expensive household item.

We make saving easy! You can open an account with as little as £1 and save as much or as little as you like, as often as you like, up to a maximum of £15000.

Withdrawing your
money is also easy!

Withdrawal of some or all savings can be made by a member at any time. Although the rules provide a maximum period of 60 days, we aim to pay withdrawals by bank transfer within a few days (cheques take a little longer but usually within a week).

Other withdrawals We recommend that you sign in to the members’ area where you can view your balances and request a payment to your bank account. If you click on the Members Area button you can apply to access the members area if you have not already signed up. Alternatively please contact the office to arrange for either an electronic transfer to your bank or a cheque.

“I’d never really had any savings but my mum suggested that I have my child benefits paid directly into a community bank account. I didn’t really miss the money each week but I can’t believe how my savings have built up in only a year”
