Regular Saver Summary

Dividend Rate

Regular savings held in the credit union attract a dividend (like interest).  The dividend rate is paid based on the credit union’s financial performance and market conditions.  It is not agreed in advance, but proposed and voted on at the AGM every January.  In 2024, the credit union paid 2%, in 2023, the credit union paid 0.4%, and in 2022, the credit union paid 0.25%.

We always aim to pay as much as we can reasonably afford to.

How it works

When you join The Money Co-op, you will be issued with a Regular Savings account. It is a condition of membership that you must save at least £10/month into your Regular Savings account.
Unless you have an outstanding loan with us, you can freely access your savings and make withdrawals as long as you keep a minimum of £5 in your account. If you do have a loan, your Regular Savings account is tied to the loan, and your savings won’t be available until your loan balance is lower than your savings.

Why choose The Money Co-op?

At The Money Co-op, we believe in ethical, people-first financial solutions. Our Regular Savings account gives you the flexibility to save at your own pace, with the added benefit of earning annual dividends.

With us, you’re not just a saver; you’re a member of a community that supports you every step of the way.
