Why do people join Scotwest? We genuinely care about their wellbeing and the wellbeing of their loved ones.

Our concern for financial well-being goes beyond our Members. We care about their loved ones too. Life savings and loan protection are free benefits that we offer to our members that you would not get from other financial services providers.

Life Savings Benefit is a free safeguard offered by Scotwest Credit Union automatically to its members. In the event of your death, it provides your family with a single lump sum payment.

Loan Protection is a free safeguard offered by Scotwest Credit Union as a benefit automatically to its members. Your family can be secure in the knowledge that your Scotwest Credit Union debt* (up to an
aggregate maximum value of £15,000) can be cleared, giving them peace of mind at a difficult and uncertain time.

To find out more about our Free Life Savings and Loan Protection benefit click here.

Please note: This is not an insurance policy. The terms of this member benefit may change from time to time. The applicable rates
/ amounts covered are those prevalent at the date of death.
*Loan Protection is provided on all unsecured loans. All other loans, excluding mortgages, are covered up to and including the
age of 79.

I With a Scotwest Credit Union Savings Account, you can keep funds tucked away until you really need them.

You won’t be able to spend it with your card or withdraw it from a cash machine — helping you stay on track and avoid dipping into it early.

When you need your savings, just log in to online banking to transfer them to your bank account — or give us a call on 0141 227 2390 and we’ll make sure the money’s with you the same day.

Find out more about our savings accounts here.

Learn how to get your debts under control. Take the test to work out and determine your level of debt and see how you can get back on track with your finances.

If you are looking to borrow from Scotwest, we will ensure that you don't take on debt you can't afford, but some other lenders may not be quite so scrupulous with you and your money!

Before applying for a loan, why not take the MoneyHelper Debt Test on the Scotwest website.
