A requirement of the credit union regulator is that credit union members have something in common with one another.  This is known as the credit union’s ‘common bond’ and determines who can join a credit union. 

Penny Post’s common bond is as follows:-

Admission to membership of the Credit Union is restricted to:

a) An individual who is employed by the following employer:

i. Royal Mail Group (or its successors)
ii. Parcelforce
iii. Post Office Limited
iv. Angard Staffing
v. Royal Mail Property & Facilities Ltd (including RM Manufacturing)
vi. Quadrant
vii. RoMEC
viii. Penny Post Credit Union Limited

b) An individual who is a member or retired member of the following bona fide
organisations –

The Communication Workers Union or Unite the Union

c) an individual who is a member of the same household as, and is a relative of, an
individual who is a member of the credit union and falls directly within the common
bond specified above

All members and retired members of the CWU and Unite are welcome to join Penny Post!  If not a Royal Mail Group employee, you can save into your Penny Post savings account, or repay a loan, by setting up a standing order with your bank or building society.
When you join, we will need proof of your CWU or Unite membership, and will ask you to provide a copy of:

• A recent payslip dated within the last month, for current members
• or a bank statement showing a subscription payment, or recent correspondence from the union, for retired members

Please note – Penny Post Credit Union is part of the Penny Post Group, along with our sister credit unions, Voyager Alliance and Retail CU. If you are already an existing member of Voyager Alliance or Retail CU, you are unable to join Penny Post too.

It’s so easy to save with Penny Post. Save a few ££s straight from your pay and watch your savings grow. With a range of saving accounts from the Christmas account paying an extra 1% dividend to the interest-bearing Prime account, Penny Post is here to help you save.

From time to time we all need to borrow, and Penny Post is here to help. We offer members a range of 5* award winning Personal Loans with manageable repayments straight from your pay.

Savings and loan repayments are deducted directly from your weekly or monthly pay. As the money is taken directly from your wages/salary, you tend not to miss it! It really is the easy way to save, and borrow when you need to!

For members leaving Royal Mail, and family members, we will set up a Standing Order with your bank or building society.

Members money with Penny Post is protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK’s deposit protection scheme, to the value of £85,000. However, the maximum a member can hold with Penny Post across all their accounts is £50,000, meaning all your savings with us are covered. Click here for further information on the FSCS.

Penny Post is owned by and run for the benefit of our members. When you join, you become a ‘member’ and a ‘shareholder’ in Penny Post Credit Union. Any profits made are shared in the form of an annual dividend agreed by members at our Annual General Meeting.

*Dividends are not guaranteed. The rate payable is dependent on financial performance and voted on by members at the AGM.
