Making Payments

Savings

Every joining member must save a minimum of £10 per month. A dividend on the balance of your savings is calculated daily and paid annually gross of income tax.

Ways to pay

It couldn’t be simpler. Our office staff will arrange for your employer to deduct your monthly savings and/or loan repayments from your salary. No hassle, no problems – what you’ve never had, you never miss!

Alternatively you may pay by standing order.

Eligibility for Membership

Please see our Membership page to check your eligibility to join.

Once you have joined, close family members living at your address may also qualify.

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.
