Make it easier to budget with CANA Credit Union

Budget Accounts

Our budget accounts make it much more convenient for our members to pay their bills such as insurance, TV, gas, utilities, broadband, and more. While also allowing savings for special occasions through separate categories. We can even simplify this process with the option of setting up a convenient salary deduction.

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.

Please note, that a €15 annual fee applies for using the budget account service.

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