Opening a prize saver or an ordinary savings account is a very easy. Once done, pay regularly via standing order and watch your money grow! If you need funds in your current account, the mobile app or desktop web version of ESCU's portal is very well laid out and provides a secure method to transfer funds within a short space of time. The regular email keep you posted on events and offers etc too. All in all, a great experience and a friendly team on hand should you need help. Reviewed on: 7th June 2021

Best savings scheme

I have been saving with the local credit union for 21 years now and they have provided an excellent service. They have changed from their initial beginnings to being very accessible to a very diverse community. It’s great to be able to go online and check my account and if I need to borrow the process it very simple. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Reviewed on: 7th June 2021

I save with ESCU and have always had excellent service. They have an excellent app and if I need to speak to anyone, they are always helpful and the service is prompt. Reviewed on: 7th June 2021

Amazing help!

I took a coronavirus loan out to help keep on top of bills and eastsussex credit union opened a savings account on behalf I didn’t think I’d be able to save as money was tight when my repayments for the loan started I realised they took a proportion and put it in the saving accounts and it does add up! Since getting back on my feet financially I’ve made sure to put an additional £50 each month and opened another savings account. Due to there service you can’t withdraw money (which I would of usually done). This is very beneficial and it help build a better relationship between me and money! East Sussex credit union have been very helpful whenever I have had to contact them, as well as making it easy to know what happening via the app and regular email updates.
