Why Choose Us?
Better for you
- As we are not-for-profit we can usually give you higher rates on savings than banks or building societies. By law we can give a maximum of 8% dividend on savings. Typically we are able to give between 3% and 4%.
- As we are 'not-for-profit' we are able to offer very competative rates on shorter duration loans, particularly when compared to 'doorstep' or 'door-to-door' lenders.
Are we only a small, local organisation?
- No. There are 40,258 organisations like us, called Credit Unions, in 78 countries worldwide.
- There are 118 million members enjoying ‘not-for-profit’ financial services.
Is your money safe?
- Yes. There are many advantages to joining Winchester Savers, as part of Hampshire Credit Union, and your money is as safe with us as it is with a Bank or Building Society.
How do I become a member?
- To join, simply complete an application form, provide two forms of identification (eg: driving licence, utility bill or credit card statement showing your current address) and pay a small joining fee to cover the cost of setting up the Standard Account.
