Adult Savings Accounts Unlike high street banks and building societies we DON’T carry out any credit checks before we will let you open an account. We DON’T allow any previous CCJs - bankruptcy or insolvency - to prevent you from joining. You can add to your savings at any time - by payroll deduction from your salary, standing order from your bank account, in person at any of our branches or by direct transfer from your pension, housing allowance or other benefit payments. You can also take out your money at any time - either in person at any of our branches, by phone or via email - whichever suits you. 4 in 1 Share Account Our standard savings accounts can help you to set aside separate amounts for different things. You can save as much - or as little - as you like. When you complete your membership application form simply tell us the amount you wish to save regularly - weekly or monthly. Click here to go to the members' area and download an application form HomeSaver Account We've introduced this new account to help people save towards the cost of moving in and setting up their new home. For a limited period only - anyone who has registered with "Choose Your Home" will get FREE FAIRshare membership (worth £5) - plus for the first 100 accounts opened - a FREE Fiver to start off their savings! By saving a regular amount - each week or each month - HomeSavers will also be guaranteed a low cost loan of up to £500 or more before they move in - subject to being able to afford the repayments. There's never been a better time to start saving for your new home. So what are you waiting for?

Parents, guardians, relatives and friends can also contribute savings to the account. Accounts can be opened by adults for children from birth. Savings for junior members accepted from the trustee can be made in the same way as for our standard adult accounts (i.e. cash, cheque, direct debit, payroll etc) and all junior members receive an annual dividend payment - again just like adult accounts. Junior savers must be aged under 16 years.
