With DCBank you will have the opportunity to apply for a top-up loan. All loans are considered on our loan criteria and affordability checks.
As a community-focussed lender, we take all things into consideration and try to make as fair loan decision as we can. In some circumstances we may have to turn down a loan application, or offer a lower value if we can see that the loan may not be affordable, or could put someone into financial difficulties.
We will always explain why a loan is not offered and we will signpost to organisations that could help manage your money.
If your loan application has not been accepted, you might want to consider saving a small amount regularly with us to help get yourself back on track. It will help us build a relationship with you, so next time perhaps we can say yes.
You will need to contact your bank to give them the new account number and sort code, there is no need for a reference number on the amended standing order. Other than benefit payments, if you get payments from anyone else you will need to contact them and ask them to make the change.
Payments made to the old Chesterfield Credit Union account details will continue for a period of time.
Currently, DCBank has a Maximum saving limit of £20,000 per member
As a credit union, we pay a dividend based on our surplus each year. The dividend is approved by the member AGM. For the last few years we’ve paid 2% dividend to our members.
Your pledged savings will continue to be held until the loan ends or you take out a new loan. We call this your Holding Saver account. New savings will continue to be added as per your original loan agreement.
If you set up Goal Saver pots on the Chesterfield Credit Union app, you will need to set these up again in the DCBank app.
Yes, provided that any outstanding loan balances have been cleared, you can withdraw your funds to your linked account and close your membership of the credit union.
