About Us
Experience the best flexible savings accounts with Serve and Protect.
The benefits of our Flexi Saver account is clear for all to see:
Depositing lump sums
You can open your Flexi Saver with a deposit of up to £40,000 – and can access your money when you wish.
Easy access
You can have a monthly amount taken from your salary on top of the amounts you deposit yourself, so the balance keeps growing.
Free life cover
If the worst should happen while you are a member of Serve and Protect, we’ll match the first £25,000 saved and your family will receive the total amount.
Our savings accounts are easy to manage. Flexi Saver users can enjoy the simplest of processes:
Our Flexi Saver application process takes only a few minutes to complete. Existing members are invited to apply anytime. If you’re not yet a member, you’re welcome to apply for a Flexi Saver account; however, you must join us first. After becoming a member, simply return to this page to finalise your Flexi Saver application.
Once everything is all set up, your Flexi Saver account will be ready for deposits. If you mention in your application that you’re looking to add some new funds, we’ll send you all the details you need to make that deposit. Or, if you prefer to transfer funds from an existing account you already have with us, no worries at all! We’re here to take care of everything for you.
As our financial year wraps up, your savings can get a little boost in the form of our annual dividend. It’s something we decide together at our Annual General Meeting, which all members are invited to.Â
You have the flexibility to save as little as £10 per month or up to £1,000 per month through regular deductions. Start small or aim higher – the choice is yours! Let’s make saving easy and achievable.
We take great pride in rewarding our valued members with a savings return in the form of an annual dividend.Â
It’s important to note that our annual dividend is determined based on the surplus profits of the credit union, and it is proposed by the Board to our members at our Annual General Meeting each year.
Absolutely! You have the flexibility to withdraw your money whenever you need it. Just use your online banking, mobile app, or give us a call, and we’ll assist you in withdrawing the desired amount.
You have the opportunity to open a Flexi Saver account with a maximum deposit limit of £40,000. It’s a great way to save and grow your money while enjoying flexibility and ease.
You might need to pay tax on the interest or dividend you receive from your savings accounts with us. This will depend on your personal financial situation. For more information, please visit https://www.gov.uk/apply-tax-free-interest-on-savings
Rest assured, all our savings products are protected by the UK’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), guaranteeing your savings up to £85,000. Any deposits exceeding the current limit are not covered. For additional details about the FSCS, please visit www.fscs.org.uk
To open a Flexi Saver account, you’ll need to become a member of our credit union and save a minimum of £10 per month in our Regular Saver account.
Don’t worry if you’re not a member yet – you can become a member for free here.
Once you join, head back here to complete our Flexi Saver application, and our friendly support team will assist you.
To get a Flexi Saver account, simply fill out the form below. We’re here to help you every step of the way!
All our savings accounts include free life cover up to £25,000 (up to the age of 65). This means, should the worst happen, your savings could be doubled up to the first £25,000, allowing you to support your family when they need it most.Â
The free life cover benefit is subject to the terms and conditions of Serve and Protect Loan Protection and Life Savings policies, arranged by CMGL and underwritten by Covea Life Ltd. Note that this protection is a benefit of membership provided at no extra cost to the member. The Credit Union is the policyholder for Loan Protection and Life Savings.
If you’re already a member, our Flexi Saver account is just the thing for you. Just fill out the form below to get started. It’s that simple!Â
