Simple Saving Through Payroll Deduction
Here at First Scottish, we encourage our members to save whatever and whenever they can. When dealing with life’s twists and turns, we believe its vital to be financially prepared. But finding the time to save can be tricky and feel like a low priority when you’re busy, that’s why we set up Payroll Deduction – to make saving simple, straightforward and free from hassle.
Through Payroll Deduction, your savings (whether its £1 or £1,000) are deducted from your salary each month and go straight into your savings account with us, where we’ll keep it safe and sound until you need it. Like a bank, your money is protected by The Financial Conduct Authority up to £85,000, meaning you can sleep soundly at night knowing your hard-earned savings are secure with us.
Unfortunately, Payroll Deduction is only available to employees of Scottish-based universities and Higher Education Institutes. For graduates, family members and students (who wish to save) payments can be made monthly through Standing Order. Which, if you ask us, is still pretty easy.
What You Need To Know
