Corporate Membership
The account for organisations
Our corporate membership account available to businesses and authorities
Corporate membership is for organisations (rather than individuals) based in Acorn Community Bank. Businesses, charities, partnerships, clubs, societies, local councils and voluntary groups, whether incorporated or not, can become corporate members and place sums on deposit.
By depositing funds with us your organisation’s money helps the credit union to grow and support the local community.
The maximum deposit is £60,000. Deposits are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) for many organisations. You can check if it applies to you using the FSCS checker tool.
Acorn Community Bank does not pay interest on deposits. Instead, corporate deposits, just like savings from individual members, would qualify for a profit sharing dividend.
If you wish to apply for corporate membership, you can download an application form here.
