Standing Order
If you wish to make a regular deposit into your credit union savings account you could set up a standing order. You can do this directly with your bank via online banking or in branch but please ensure that you include your unique reference number which we can give you should you have mislaid it. Alternatively, we can give you a standing order mandate to complete and set it up for you.

Payroll Deduction
We offer a payroll saving scheme for many the large local employers. This scheme allows your payroll department to deduct a savings amount of your choice from your salary and forward it directly to us to place in your credit union savings account. This deduction can be stopped or amended at any time by yourself. The following employers currently operate the scheme;
· Countess of Chester Hospital
· Encirc 360
· Sanctuary Housing
· Chester Zoo
· Cheshire West & Chester Council
· Weaver Vale Housing Trust
· Cheshire College South & West

If you think your employer may be interested in setting up this scheme as an employee benefit at no cost to themselves they can contact our Chester office on 01244 399006 to find out more.
