26% of UK adults have little or no savings. This means that when an unexpected bill arrives or a family crisis occurs, some households have to borrow, sometimes from high cost lenders.
Personal debt can cause anxiety and depression, when staff are preoccupied by money worries they are not focusing on their work and performance can suffer.
Credit unions encourage regular savings and provide affordable, ethical loans. Working with your local credit union can help your employees build up savings giving them financial flexibility and the option to borrow affordably when they need it. We recommend our Members save £12 or £40 monthly; not too much, but sufficient to build savings.

The next step is Payroll Deduction; offering credit union savings and loans as part of your employee benefits package and a feature of your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
See our ResourcesOffering Payroll Deduction with Derbyshire Community Bank as an employee benefit works for you as the employer, and is a valuable service for your employees.
Employers offering payroll saving to their employees have the reassurance that their people are taking responsibility for their money; they are putting some money aside for when they need it, and they have access to the affordable loans from Derbyshire Community Bank when they need it.
We do not charge employers for this service and many payroll outsourcers do not charge their customers for the processing of credit union loan repayments, so the cost to employers of offering Payroll Deduction is no more than a small amount of admin each month.

We lend from £300 to £7,500, we are very careful to ensure loans are affordable and improve the borrower’s situation and not create a burden for them. Many of our borrowers have limited financial options and borrowing from us is affordable, improves their credit history and best of all, our borrowers also save at least £12/month alongside their loan repayment – a simple way to help them build financial resilience, learn good money habits and plan for a positive future.
We pay a dividend on savings, however this is not guaranteed. 2% paid in 2024.
