Credit Union : Introducing Plane Saver

Plane Saver was founded in 1993 by a group of British Airways Engineers. They had a passion to provide a range of flexible savings and affordable loans to their colleagues. Since launching, Plane Saver has become one of the largest credit unions in the United Kingdom

In 2010 they expanded their field of membership to offer the service to additional Airlines and transportation industries, welcoming the likes of American Airlines and Air Canada on board as payroll partners. In October 2015, with the support of the Ministry of Defence, Plane Saver launched their service for HM Armed Forces Personnel with deductions straight from their JPA payroll. They extended their partnership to BA Clubs in 2018

Plane Saver now serves over 20,000 members and has lent over £100million to date.

Plane Saver Credit Union is Authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.

We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if a credit union is unable to meet its financial obligations. Most depositors - including most individuals and small businesses - are covered by the scheme.

In respect of deposits, an eligible depositor is entitled to claim up to £85,000. For joint accounts each account holder is treated as having a claim in respect of their share so, for a joint account held by two eligible depositors, the maximum amount that could be claimed would be £85,000 each (making a total of £170,000). The £85,000 limit relates to the combined amount in all the eligible depositor's accounts with the credit union, including their share of any joint account, and not to each separate account.
