A
very warm welcome from
Worcester Black Pear
...we're
really pleased you're here!
What
do we offer?
A safe, easy way to save and loans at low, low interest rates.
 |
All
British credit unions are regulated by the Financial Services Authority
(FSA) just like the banks, building societies, insurance companies
and other loan organisations.
|
 |
Members
savings are fully protected under the FSA's compensation scheme |
An easy
way to save
Save
any amount from £1 - as much or as little as you like. We accept cash
or cheques at our shop and MoneyPoints or you can pay by standing
order from your bank or building society account. |
|
Low
cost loans
After you have saved regularly
for a while, you can apply for a loan. You will be charged a low rate
of interest and must continue to save with us. Compare our costs with
other lenders here.

Annual
dividends
Once
a year, any profit we earn is shared out amongst all our members.
This is called the annual dividend. The amount paid varies from year
to year and is often higher than the interest received from some bank
accounts.
|
|
Free
life insurance
Our members get free life
insurance on both savings and loans. This means that if a customer
should die, up to double the value of the shares - depending on age
- would be paid out to a nominated beneficiary. Any loans would be
paid off in full, giving peace of mind for those family members left
behind. |
Easy
to get to
We
have a shop
at 9 Lowesmoor and MoneyPoints
in many parts of the city.

times here. |

A warm
and friendly welcome
Our
MoneyPoints
are staffed by volunteer members, people who live in your local area.
So you can be sure of a warm welcome. You may want to get more involved
by volunteering yourself! |
