Important information

Payments can be made into the account up to a total of £10,000 in any Discovery Credit Union financial year (Oct - Sep). A Junior Saver account is only available to individuals under the age of 16.

We also work in partnership with Save By The Bell, a financial education project that promotes regular saving from an early age in nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools. Save By The Bell pupils open a Junior Savings account with Discovery Credit Union and save regularly through school collection points (Dundee only)
