Saving with Rugby Credit Union

When you join a Credit Union you become a Member by opening a savings account and your savings are known as shares. Your savings / shares are secure- as a Credit Union we are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and your savings are protected by the UK Government's Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Members OWN the Credit Union and when the Credit Union makes a surplus it is divided amongst Members as a dividend. And every Member is entitled to attend, ask questions and vote at our Annual General Meeting. It makes no difference how much money is in your savings / shares account. The principle is one member - one vote. JOIN NOW

By being members of the credit union, they have the opportunity to borrow money when they most need it - such as when they go to university or buy their first car. The maximum Junior members may save is limited by law to £5,000. There is no membership fee for young savers.

How do I access money in my Account?

To manage your account online you can register on our website for online banking, provide a pin number and passwords for security and set up nominated account(s) that you wish to have money paid into. Alternatively you can access your money by using the Share Withdrawal form (below), but to protect you from fraud, you will first need to have provided security & password responses to enable our staff to verify your identity and confirm your instructions.

Your shares/savings can be withdrawn to your nominated Bank Account(s), transferred to your Credit Union Engage Debit Card or collected in cash or cheque from the office (subject to our cash limit of £250).

Please complete the Share Withdrawal Form (below) or download and email to us. The Credit Union will contact you to confirm your instructions and complete anti-fraud security checks. Bank transfers will normally be completed same day but please allow 24 hours for BACS processing.
