Child Benefit Savings

Linked to the Child Benefit Loan, this account helps you develop the savings habit while you repay your loan.

• You are in control – You can save as much or as little as you like and as often as you like
• Your savings are safe – We are fully regulated by the FCA and covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. So your savings are 100% protected.
• You can have more than one account – You may want more than one account, for instance to save up for a special occasion. We also offer a Junior Savers’ account.
• Save for a rainy day – It’s always a good idea to save, not just for a set purpose but also for emergencies and the unexpected.
• Contribute to our pool of savings so that you and other members can borrow – As a community bank, we only lend the money we take in. By saving you are helping others in your area who need to borrow from an ethical organisation.
