Savings

One of our key aims is to help our members save regularly and become financially resilient. For this reason we offer a range of different savings accounts.

To join Commsave you will need to commit to saving at least £2 a week or £10 a month.

You can save anything up to a total balance of £85,000.

Your savings are as safe as they would be in any other financial institution. All of your savings are protected by the Financial services Compensation Scheme up to a total of £85,000.

One of the great benefits of joining a credit union is that you are a member and part-owner of the company – this means you receive a share of the profits we make each year, in the form of a dividend. For the most recent financial year, ending 30th September 2023, we paid a return of 4% - which is very competitive for instant access savings accounts.

FAQs

We pay a competitive annual dividend on the total amount you have saved during the financial year (October to September). The rate depends on Commsave’s financial performance. This is usually paid into accounts in January.

We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if a credit union is unable to meet its financial obligations. Most depositors – including most individuals and small businesses – are covered by the scheme.
