Savings

Everyone benefits from having some savings behind them - no matter how much or how little you have. Regular saving allows us to plan and work towards our financial goals and gives us peace of mind should an emergency arise.

How do I start saving?

Getting into the savings habit is easy when you join Discovery Credit Union. Save as little, or as much as you like - you decide. We encourage members to commit to a regular savings plan. There are several ways you can deposit money regularly:

  • Set up a standing order with your bank or building society
  • Have one of your state benefits or pension paid directly into your credit union account
  • Straight from your wages/salary through payroll deductions (if your employer offers this service - see more details on our Employer Partners page)
  • Pay in cash at our office (opening hours are – linked to that on main page)
Why should you save with us?

Many of our members are putting money away to save for a specific purpose such as Christmas or for a holiday; others like the comfort of knowing that they have funds set aside when faced with unexpected bills or an emergency. We can help you make saving as easy as possible by offering several ways to save. And remember, as a credit union saver, you are not just a customer, you are a co-owner of the business.
