We are proud to be in partnership with Westcountry Savings & Loans (WS&L), the South West’s credit union, and seven housing associations across the Southwest. This is part of our ongoing commitment to our residents' financial wellbeing.
If Christmas just gone felt a bit costly, then opening a Christmas Savings Account with Westcountry Savings & Loans, your credit union, could be the New Year’s Resolution you hadn’t thought of making!
The WS&L Christmas Savings Account is an ideal way of planning for what can be an expensive time of year, giving account holders the chance to put something aside on a regular basis for the festivities. If you’re aged 16 or over, you can start saving at any time in the year, up to £200 per month, either weekly, fortnightly, 4-weekly or monthly by direct debit. Then, at close of business on October 31st, 1% gross interest will be added on annually and the savings transferred to your Instant Access Savings Account. The funds can be withdrawn at that point to your nominated bank account.
Find out more about making Christmas more manageable by visiting the WS&L website or watching their YouTube explainer video.
