Savings that earn a share of the profit.
When you save with MCU you're not lending us money. You're buying shares in your credit union. Every year, the surplus the union earns may get paid back to members as a dividend on those shares.
Your share account, kept simple.
Your savings sit in your own share account, in your name with your Member Number. You can see the balance and every transaction against it whenever you sign in to the member portal.
We don't charge account fees. The minimum balance to keep the account open is £5, and the maximum total members can hold with us is £15,000.
Pay in by bank transfer, by standing order, or in person on a Tuesday or Saturday.
