Support and Wellbeing
At SPCU, we’re more than just a financial provider. We’re committed to helping you achieve your financial goals and improve your overall well-being.
Whether you’re looking to save for the future, manage your debt, or simply improve your financial literacy, we’re here to help you every step of the way.
Here you’ll find resources and information to help you manage your finances, improve your financial health, and build a brighter future.
What is Financial Wellbeing?
Financial wellbeing is a multifaceted concept that encompasses more than just having money. It’s about having a healthy relationship with your finances, feeling secure and in control of your financial situation, and having the peace of mind that comes from knowing you can meet your financial obligations and achieve your goals.
At SPCU, we want all our members to feel good about their money. That means having enough put aside and the right cover for when things don’t go to plan, so you can cover your essentials without worry.
It’s about feeling in charge of your finances, knowing where your money is going, saving for the future, and making smart choices about any financial products you might need. We want to give you clear and simple information to help you with this.
Being ‘financially well’ also means being able to handle unexpected money problems and get back on your feet. We aim to offer services that are right for our members and give you good value.
We want you to feel confident in managing your money, setting your sights on what you want to achieve, and taking steps to get there. Ultimately, it’s about having peace of mind when it comes to your finances, so you can focus on what matters most to you, without unnecessary stress.
We’re here to look out for your best interests and help you build a more secure financial future.
How can SPCU Help?
In times of financial pressure or worry, a credit union can be a valuable resource. We offer a variety of financial services that can help members manage their finances and weather difficult times.
If you are experiencing financial hardship, it is important to seek help from a qualified financial professional. A credit union can be a great resource, but it is important to understand your options and make informed decisions about your finances.
Sickness Absence Cover
Protects our borrowers when they need it most, sickness absence can cover loan payments when you’ve been off sick for 120 days continuously.
Loan Protection Cover
In the event that the worst happens, rest assured that we have included life protection to repay any loan you have with us (Up to age 75).
Family Payment Break
Members on maternity, paternity, or adoption leave may be eligible for a short-term loan payment break of up to six months.
Financial Support
Financial pressure can arise from a variety of circumstances, such as job loss, illness, or unexpected expenses, leading to a struggle to meet financial obligations.
Bereavement Support
During some of the most difficult times for our members and their families, we want to make sure that we can help in anyway that we can.
Budgeting Hints & Tips
Creating a budget is a great way to review your finances and take control of your finances. Tracking spending, creating goals and using budgeting tools can help reduce financial stress.
