The problem. I wanted to transfer money. The website was being revised and therefore not initallyavailable on 01 02 23. Seemed a strange time - first of a month to restrict access, and also a Wednesday when staff not available until 09.30. Reviewed on: 10th February 2023

The Members' Regular/Monthly Saver pays 3% interest. The Small Saver account, open to anyone, pays 4%. Therefore, persons new to the society, get a higher rate of interest than those who have saved for 12 months or more. Reviewed on: 8th February 2023
