Following our successful recommend a friend promotion last year we are going to run it again!
Have you ever mentioned your membership and the benefits of the Credit Union to another employee? Well now is the time to start.
Existing and new members can be entered into a prize draw for £100!
How it works:
- Email union@northtyneside.gov.uk the contact information of the prospective new members (there is no limit to how many people you can recommend)
- New member signs up and we receive a deduction from payroll (remember the minimum monthly amount is only £5) or a standing order payment
- For each new member you receive an entry into the prize draw
- After the promotion ends the draw is made and three existing members and three new members will receive £100 each
The promotion will run from 20th March to 18th June 2025. The payroll deduction must come out from July payroll at the latest. Any standing order payment needs to be received by 15th July 2025.
