Why is saving with a Credit Union better?

Whether you’re saving for something in the future or just for a rainy day, regular saving is a good idea.

Regular saving with CRCCU is an even better idea. At CRCCU , you’re not just a customer, you’re a member of a successful financial co-operative.

Are my savings secure?

Credit Union is covered by the Deposit Protection Scheme which is administered by the Financial Regulator. This is a scheme that can provide compensation to depositors if CRCCU is forced to go out of business. It covers deposits held with banks; building societies; and Credit Unions Association (CUA) Ghana. 

    The Deposit Protection Scheme covers:
  • current accounts;
  • demand deposit accounts;
  • term deposit accounts;
  • share accounts and deposit accounts with building societies; and
  • share accounts and deposit accounts with Credit Unions.

What return will I get on my Credit Union savings & shares?

Every share you hold with CRCCU for the year is eligible for a dividend when declared. A dividend is the return on your shares and it is paid by CRCCU out of surplus.*

*Past performance is not a reliable guide to future performance.

    The amount of your dividend will depend on:
  • The amount of shares you have saved.
  • The surplus income available for distribution by your Credit Union to members.

Only members of CRCCU receive a dividend from CRCCU . The amount paid to members varies from one financial year to another.
