TRY THE RMT CREDIT UNION The RMT Credit Union is your financial helping hand – and it’s part of the union! Irresponsible banks have driven us to a massive economic crisis. Now is the time for working people to pull together and turn to our traditional values of self-help and mutual support. That’s where your RMT Credit Union comes in. Owned and controlled by RMT members, it provides savings and loan facilities on a not-for-profit basis. WE ARE NOT A BANK AND WE DON’T PUSH CREDIT CARDS We enable our members to build up their savings and benefit from the yearly dividend – 3.5 per cent in 2008 – and we provide access to low-cost loans. There are also Christmas and Summer Holiday Clubs so that you can save to have cash ready when you need it at the most expensive times of the year. Unlike the banks the RMT Credit Union is not seeking to make profits from your money. The surplus it generates is used to provide a dividend on savings, to keep loans as cheap as possible and to build up the Credit Union so that we can improve our services. RMT CREDIT UNION – BE PART OF IT! The RMT Credit Union belongs to all of us, so join us now. If you join by April 30 you could win one of our great celebration prizes. Membership is open to RMT members and retired members, and family of RMT members are welcome too.
