Joining Rugby Credit Union

It's easy to become a Member - Join on-line below or download the Application Form

When you join we open a regular savings account for you - other banking services are available to you when we have completed this process and confirmed your Membership number, usually by return or on next working day.

You need to live or work in Warwickshire and be able to provide evidence of your identity.

Have two types of ID ready - see section 7 below - you can take photos of your documents or upload them as PDFs.

Fees‍

There are no fees for joining the Credit Union, but we ask that you open your account with a minimum deposit of £1.

Building a savings 'habit'

Part of our aims is to support Members to build financial stability. One way we do this is to ask Members to set up a regular savings plan when they join. This can start from as little as £1 per week. Not only does this start to build a little nest egg but regular savers enjoy discounted interest rates if ever a loan is needed.

MEMBER IDENTIFICATION

Money Laundering regulations require us to sight one document from each of the above two lists for every new Member. However, in certain circumstances, in order to help Applicants who have difficulty in providing documents from the two lists detailed above (for example where an Applicant is newly arrived in our Common Bond area) we may seek to verify identity and address from several alternative sources. Please contact the office for information.

All documentation provided will be held on file as explained in our Privacy Notice.

Until we have satisfactorily completed verification an applicants account will remain under close scrutiny.

Section 8 - How did you hear about us?

To help us understand our members needs better please tell us how you heard about us.
