Savings
Saving up for a rainy day or a new project is wise. Members are encouraged to save what they can when they can. Every cent counts!
A regular savings pattern is a good indication of a member's ability to repay any future loans.

Each euro that you save in your savings (deposit) account buys a share in the credit union.
Dividends are profits of the credit union that are distributed to the members based on the number of shares they hold. The dividends are paid at the end of each financial year if the credit union has the capacity to do so.
The dividends are declared at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) after being proposed, seconded, and voted on by the members present at the AGM.
Dividends, when paid, are added to your savings, so your savings grow over time.
Your capacity to borrow is maintained.
You can pledge your a portion of yours savings as a guarantee against a loan you take our, or against another member's loan.
