It’s hard to get away from the fact that no one seems to want cash any more. With a Credit Union Engage Account and contactless VISA, you can wave goodbye to notes and coins and pay by card instead.
While bank accounts and overdrafts can be very convenient, they can also be expensive. Our Engage Classic Account and VISA card offers a fair and affordable alternative to a traditional bank account – without the hidden charges.
Engage is the national brand for all credit union banking services and allows you to pay money into your account, pay bills automatically and shop anywhere that accepts VISA debit – online, in stores and at your local supermarket. This means you can make instant payments without the risk and hassle of carrying cash.
There is no interest to trap you into debt, no overdraft and no nasty hidden charges, just a small sensible fee which allows you to take control of your money.
Credit Union Finance Manager Lucidia Rodrigues said: “In recent weeks we’ve seen more and more stores move to contactless and card payments whenever possible. Our Engage Classic Account allows you to have your salary or benefits paid directly into your account and then you can then use the VISA debit card to purchase goods or services wherever the VISA symbol is displayed.
“Because Engage is an account with your Credit Union, the great thing is that it won’t push you into debt and, with our Engage ‘envelopes’, you can protect you monthly bill payments, so you never have to worry about over-spending.
“Why not have your Credit Union Saver Loan credited to your Engage account and get all the benefits of your VISA ‘flexible friend’ but at a low credit union borrowing rate? If you have outstanding credit card balances, why not think about clearing the sums with our Saver Loan and using the Engage VISA card as a cheaper alternative?”

- FREE to apply for a card (you can also have an additional card for free too)
- FREE for any purchases made within the UK
- FREE mobile app available on Android and iPhone
