Savings

Saving via salary deduction

Save and repay the easy way—straight from your salary, with no extra effort and complete peace of mind.

How it works

Join online

Apply for a loan or membership account - we'll ask about your employment details as part of the process.

Behind the scenes

We'll contact your employer's payroll with your salary deduction request. 

On payday

Your employer will deduct your chosen amount and pass it to us. We'll credit it to your account as soon as we receive it.

Hassle-free savings and repayments

Your deduction will continue in the background, going towards any loan repayments and building savings.

Why salary deduction?

Research shows that automatic salary deduction can be an easy way to build up a handy nest-egg - especially if you're not already in the habit of saving regularly.
  • No temptation to spend: Money is set aside before you see it, making saving effortless.

  • Reliable and regular: Contributions happen every payday, so your savings grow consistently without reminders.

  • Straight from payroll: Savings are deducted automatically from your salary before it reaches your bank.

  • Discreet and confidential: Your employer only sees the total deduction, never whether it’s for savings or a loan.

  • What are the advantages of salary deduction?

    Salary deduction makes saving or repaying a loan automatic. The money goes straight from your wages into your credit union account on payday, so there’s no risk of overspending or missing a repayment. It’s simple, reliable, and helps keep our costs down—allowing us to offer fairer rates and more affordable loans to our members.

  • How do I get started with salary deduction?

    If your employer is one of our partners, you can choose salary deduction when you join online. Simply select your employer’s name from the list and confirm how much you’d like deducted each month. We’ll set everything up with your payroll team, so your savings or loan repayments start straight from your next payday.

  • I’m an employer and interested in partnering with you

    That’s great to hear! Offering salary deduction is a simple, cost-free way to support your staff’s financial wellbeing. We’ll guide you through the setup process with your payroll provider and make it easy to get started. Get in touch with us to learn more.

  • What happens if I change employers?

    You’ll always keep your account with us, even if you move jobs. If your new employer also offers salary deduction, we can transfer your arrangement. If not, you can still save and make repayments by Direct Debit, standing order, or through our app—so you never lose the benefits of membership.

  • Can my employer see what I’m using salary deduction for?

    No. Your employer only sees the total deduction amount sent to the credit union. They won’t know whether it’s for savings, a loan repayment, or both. Your arrangements remain fully private and confidential between you and us.
