Christmas Club

Leeds Credit Union’s Christmas Club Account is a savings account that gives peace of mind by making saving for winter expenses easy.

Whether it’s saving for Christmas presents, or getting a head start on your winter bills. You can save as much or as little as you like.

Account name

  • Christmas Club

What is the interest rate?

  • Unlike banks and building societies, we don’t pay an interest rate on your savings. Instead, we aim to pay a quarterly/annual dividend to all qualifying members. The amount of the dividend is set by the Leeds Credit Union Board each quarter/year. Please be aware that some years no dividend may be paid.
