SAVINGS & LOANS COVER

We offer cover on your savings up to a maximum of £3000, yes this means we will match your savings up to the maximum in the event of your death.  After this and if you have a loan, we will pay 100% of any difference between your loan and savings so that no one dies with a debt.  The remainder will be paid to your next of kin.  Please keep Next of Kin details up-to-date.   To qualify;  At time of death a member must have been saving regularly with the credit union for 2 years or more, joined before their 55th birthday and be up to 75 years. The extended age limit from 65 years to 75 years from April 2017 offers our long standing members something more than before.  This cover is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and claims will be straightforward and administered by our Member Services Team.

What is a Credit Union?

Blues & Twos Credit Union is a “not-for-profit” financial co-operative, which is owned entirely by its members who all have a common goal to benefit their community, as well as being run by a trained, professional team. Setting up the policies, compliance and strategic governance is the Board of Directors who draw experience from a variety of business/public sector backgrounds.

The Blues & Twos team offer you ethical savings and affordable loans, which means that you can save as you borrow! With a non-profitable credit union, we put the focus on ensuring that you are always provided with the best service, rather than maximising profits. This way, the credit union is run with the end goal of rewarding the members.
