Christmas Savings Club

Maximise Your Festive Finances with Our Christmas Savings Club

As the holiday season approaches, the financial pressures of Christmas shopping, celebrations, and festive giving can often feel overwhelming. At East Kilbride Credit Union, we understand the importance of planning ahead, which is why we offer our Christmas Savings Club to help you take control of your festive spending.

What is the Christmas Savings Club?

Our Christmas Savings Club is a specially designed savings account that operates alongside your membership. While it is separate from your regular share accounts, it is still managed under your unique membership number, ensuring a seamless and straightforward saving process.

This account is open for deposits all year round, giving you the flexibility to contribute whenever it suits you. However, withdrawals can only be made between 1st November and 31st December, aligning perfectly with your Christmas shopping and preparation needs.

To help you stay on track with your festive savings, any withdrawals made outside of this window will incur a £5 charge. This small deterrent is designed to encourage you to keep your savings intact until the festive season, helping you achieve your financial goals.

The Benefits of Starting in January

Starting your Christmas savings in January may feel a bit early, but it’s the smartest way to avoid the last-minute scramble for funds. Here’s how:

  1. Spread the Cost
    By saving smaller amounts regularly throughout the year, you can spread the cost of Christmas, making it far more manageable.
  2. Stress-Free Budgeting
    Knowing you have a dedicated fund for Christmas expenses eliminates the stress of trying to stretch your budget in the final months of the year.
  3. Avoid Debt
    With a Christmas Savings Club, there’s no need to rely on credit cards or loans to fund your celebrations. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your festivities are already paid for.
  4. Earn While You Save
    Your savings will grow steadily, allowing you to plan and shop confidently when the festive season arrives.
  5. Flexibility in Contributions
    You decide how much and how often you deposit. Whether it’s a regular amount each month or saving little by little as you can, the choice is yours.
