What does it cost?
When you save your first £10 with the SPCU you will automatically become a member and a £5 membership fee will be deducted.

When will my savings be deducted from my pay?
When your membership application is submitted to the Credit Union office, we will then advise the appropriate pay office of the amount you wish to pay. Regular deductions will be made in accordance with the instructions in your application form. Just like Direct Debits, these deductions will continue until they are altered by you in writing, with the consent and approval of the Credit Union.

Special notes for families and partners:
Entitled family members must be endorsed by an enabling member who should complete and sign the appropriate section of the entitled member’s application form. Entitled members have the additional benefit of saving and repaying by Direct Debit or through their enabling member’s salary. If you choose the latter all changes of payment including those involved with loan applications, must be signed by both members. The enabling member must remember to include the entitled member’s payments when altering their own payment schedule.

Can I cancel my membership application?
Yes, you have the right to cancel your application within 14 days of signing your form. Any money you have paid, including your entrance fee, if taken, will be returned to you within 30 days of signing your form. This right does not apply to members who join at our office or to members who have borrowed from the credit union.
