Department for Work and Pensions: Credit Unions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether they will require their department and agencies to offer payroll deductions to all employees to enable them to join a credit union.
Answered by Andrew Western
DWP has existing arrangements with three of the UK’s leading credit unions: COMMSAVE, HEY (Hull and East Yorkshire) and VOYAGER.
The payroll savings scheme with credit unions is part of DWP’s wider financial wellbeing toolkit, which is readily available to all employees through the staff intranet, and is promoted as part of our wider wellbeing offer.
