Make it easier to budget with CANA Credit Union

Budget Accounts

With our popular service of a salary deduction, it has never been easier to save with us. Regular saving and sensible borrowing are key elements to remember when it comes to managing your money.

Keeping on top of saving and budgeting can often be difficult and with the rise in the cost of living, it is harder than ever. That is why at CANA, we offer the facility for us to manage this for you.

With up to 27 categories, you can manage your funds easier in different sections. The budget account is funded weekly / fortnightly / monthly (depending on how you are paid) by salary deduction or standing order. The funds are divided into each category to help you to save for bills and events. We offer an overdraft of up to 25% so you can overdraw if you are falling short on any bills or expenses.

To set up a budget account, fill out a form from our downloads section and send it in to us!

If you would like more information on this service, get in touch by phone (01 6766151) or email (info@canacu.ie) and we can answer any questions you may have.
