Protection for Your Savings

🛡️ Deposit Protection Scheme

Credit Unions in Ghana are covered by the Deposit Protection Scheme (Stabilization Fund) which is administered by the CUA. This is a scheme that can provide compensation to depositors if the credit institution is forced to go out of business.

Currently, Credit Unions are required to reserve an average of about 0.02% of members' total savings.

With this, members can rest assured their savings and all interests earned are secured.

Savings Policies

Important policies governing your savings account:

⚖️

The savings balance of any one member shall not exceed 20% of the total savings of the Union or as determined by the Board of Directors from time to time.

🔐

Savings cannot be withdrawn if they are frozen to guarantee a loan. Neither can savings be withdrawn if the member's indebtedness is greater than the member's savings.

📊

Interest on savings shall be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time to ensure competitive returns for our members.
