Holiday Savings
Account
Having a separate savings pot, in addition to your regular savings account with us, really could make it easier to save for your next big adventure at home or abroad.
You may be planning a dream holiday in the sun, time off on the ski slopes or a weekend city break for a special occasion. Or maybe just a short trip to the coast with the family. Whatever the reason (and there doesn’t even have to be one) why not start saving with us now.
You’ll be able to set up a regular amount to put into your holiday savings account, which you can change at any time. You can do this using a standing order or, if you work for one of our Payroll Partners, from your salary.
With our handy mobile app, you’ll be able to keep track of your savings, and there’s a possibility that you may receive an annual dividend on your savings in March, depending on the approval of members and how well we’re doing.
Just give us a call, or drop us an email, to set up your separate holiday savings account.
Savings
How do I pay into my account?
You can make deposits into your savings account with us either by cheque, by bank transfer or by payroll deduction. If you have lost your NLCU bank account details then just get in touch and we’ll confirm them for you.
The amount you save we leave up to you! There are no transactional fees with saving. We have a range of savings accounts and you can request your deposits be split for different purposes like Christmas or Holidays. The maximum balance we can hold in our accounts for a single person is £10000.
Do I get a return on my savings?
Usually yes! As a financial cooperative we share our profits with our shareholders – and all our customers are our shareholders.
Once we have paid for running costs and paid into our legally required reserves we share the rest amongst members based on the amount in their savings. The dividend that we pay to our members is voted on at our yearly AGM – see our downloads page for more info from our last AGM.
How do I withdraw money from my account?
You can withdraw funds:
- Online using our online banking service or our mobile app
- Over the phone on 0330 004 0842 – lines open Monday to Friday 10am-3pm
How soon will my requested withdrawal reach my bank account?
Requested withdrawals are processed between 9am and 3pm every weekday. Withdrawals made after 3pm, on weekends or bank holidays will be sent the following workday morning.
If requested online, this show as “Pending” until we’ve set up your withdrawal.
