How can I make payments into my account?

You can pay by cash, cheque, standing order, direct debit, or transfer from your bank. As a member of Pennyburn Credit Union, each member will have a unique account number that allows for payments such as benefit income to be paid directly into your Credit Union Account.

How do I get a statement?

Contact us, and we can upload your statement to the secure Member Hub on the website, or we can print a statement for you at our office. We issue an annual statement of account for all our members. To reduce our carbon footprint, we encourage our members to Opt-in for E-statements via the Member Hub.

Are my savings safe?

Yes. Your savings are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £85,000 per member. Any deposits you hold above the £85,000 limit will not be covered. The FSCS can compensate depositors if a Credit Union is unable to meet its financial obligations. Further information is available at www.fscs.org.uk.
