Partner with PCU for Money Month
This year’s theme for Money Month is “Pause. Get sorted.”
It’s all about taking the time to reflect on where you are right now with your finances and where you want to be and taking the steps to grow your money and build your financial resilience.
Sorting your money doesn’t just take care of you – it helps meet the future needs of your whānau.
We’ve chosen three Sorted Money Month tips and matched them with how you can put them into action with our help:
1. Shed your debt
We recently helped a member save nearly $100 a fortnight by consolidating their high-interest credit card debt into a lower-rate personal loan. They told us it was a weight off their shoulders and they’re using the extra money to build up their savings!
✅ Take the first step
If you have high-interest debt head here to see if you could save some money by switching your debt to us.
2. Set and forget savings
Police employees can prioritise saving with our salary deduction - the money goes straight into savings before your pay even hits your main account. With your savings out-of-sight it can grow until you need it.
If you’re not a Police employee, you can still set and forget with an automatic payment.
✅ Take the first step
Start a salary deduction by emailing us from your Police email address. If you're not a Police employee, take a few minutes to set up an automatic payment to your PCU savings account.
If you don't have savings with us yet, check out what we offer and open an account today!
3. Diversify your savings
Did you know you can open a term deposit with us from only $500?
Members who save with us often build up their savings over time and then switch some of it over to a term deposit to earn more interest.
Some members keep enough in savings for an emergency and the rest in a term deposit for their longer-term goals. Others open term deposits for their children and grandchildren for their future.
✅ Take the first step
See if a term deposit is an option that would work for your savings goals.
If you’d like to open one you can give us a call, send an email, or secure message us through internet or mobile banking.
