Safe Savings

A local alternative to banks and building societies

At Lincolnshire Credit Union we aim to promote the benefits of saving. We hope that by encouraging you to save you can develop a degree of financial security for the future.

What's the difference?

  • Savers receive a share of our profits in the form of an annual dividend instead of interest
  • For the last 2 years the dividend rate has been 1.25% (approximately 10 times higher than the interest paid by many banks on an instant access account)
  • The dividend is paid without deduction of income tax (members are responsible for declaring their dividend for taxation purposes)
  • The majority of our members qualify for free life assurance
 

What types of account can I have?

Share Account

Member's savings are placed in what we call a Share Account. A member can have up to 3 separate share accounts. Many people find it useful to have one account for regular savings, and other 'pots' for (say) holiday savings, or annual bills such as income tax for the self employed.

Benefits

 
  • Flexibility - Save what you want when you want to (subject to a maximum of £10,000 per member)
  • Instant access - Make withdrawals when you need to with no penalties
  • Regular savers may be eligible for an Equity Loan at a lower interest rate
  • Build up a nest egg to treat yourself or to meet unexpected expenses
  • Free life insurance on savings (conditions apply)
  • All savings are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme
  • An annual return (Dividend) paid
  • Saving with us helps support the local community
