Savings
At Newtownards Credit Union we want to encourage our members to save regularly. Whether that’s putting a little money away for a rainy day or saving for something special.
We have two types of savings accounts – a Senior account for those over 16 and a Junior account for those aged 16 and under.
To open a savings account simply print off and complete the membership application form. Bring the completed form into our office along with proof of address, (eg, electricity bill) and photographic ID, (eg, driving license or passport).
Don’t worry if you can’t print off the application form. Just come into the office and we can provide you with one to fill in there and then.
