By becoming a member I know my savings are only going to directly help people and local enterprises in my own community. After leaving university with lots of debt, saving was the last thing on my mind. But I didn't even notice the small amount going straight into my savings account from my wages each month. After four years I have over 3,000! We offer a range of savings accounts, from an Easy Saver to a Cash ISA.
