The easy way to grow your savings

If you work for one of our Money@Work partners, you can save directly from your salary.

Savings@Work is the easy way to make saving a habit. Once it’s set up, your chosen amount comes straight out of your pay each time and goes into your Salary Savings account. You decide how much you want to save, and the rest is done for you.

This healthy money habit isn’t just good for you. Saving with us helps other local people have better finances too.

A 'dividend' is a share of the profit that we make, which is paid to our members each year. Over the last five years members have received a dividend between 0.5% -1% on their savings each year.

Members get to decide the dividend we pay at our Annual General Meeting, which is usually held in February and is open for all members to attend. 

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!
