Western Union Saveeasy Credit Union is now offering Western Union international money transfer. FSCS We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if a credit union is unable to meet its financial obligations. Most depositors - including most individuals and small business - are covered by the scheme. In respect of deposits, an eligible depositor is entitled to claim up to £85,000. For joint accounts each account holder is treated as having a claim in respect of their share so, for a joint account held by two eligible depositors, the maximum that could be claimed would be £85,000 each (making a total of £170,000). The £85,000 limit relates to the combined amount in all the eligible depositors' accounts with the credit union, including their share of any joint account, and not each separate account. For further information about the scheme (including the amounts covered and the eligibility to claim) please enquire at our office, refer to the FSCS website http://www.fscs.org.uk or call 0800 678 1100.
