Workplace savings
We partner with organisations headquartered in the South-West to offer employees access to ethical savings and affordable loans through their workplace. You can join the credit union if your employer is a partner, open a savings account and apply for a loan.
Contributions to your savings — or repayments on your loan (or both) — are taken directly from your net salary each month and sent to us by your employer.
It’s simple, secure and confidential, and you can make changes at any time.
For employers
The financial well-being of your employees is vital
Financial worries affect both mental and physical health, impacting directly upon employee performance. We can help your employees take control of their finances, so they can focus more on your business. Under your corporate responsibility agenda, you can help provide your employees with access to an experienced savings and loans provider and facilitate contributions from payroll.
Credit Unions can provide:
- Savings plans to protect against financial emergencies, but also to save for larger expenses
- Ethical Loans for a range of purposes
- A wide range of products and services to help support your employees
Savings are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and provide long-term protection for your employees and their families - and if they do need to borrow, you can help make sure it is from a fair and regulated provider.
