Join GMBCU, get £25, and a chance to win big
For Birmingham Equal Pay Claimants
What’s the offer?
This exclusive savings package has been put together especially for GMB members involved in the Birmingham Equal Pay campaign.
Open a savings account with GMBCU and get £25 to start. That £25 gives you 25 chances to win cash in monthly prize draws – part of our support through the Birmingham Pay Justice campaign.
Who we are
GMB Credit Union (GMBCU) is run by GMB members, for GMB members. We’re not-for-profit and fully regulated. We help working people save and borrow fairly.
Over the past 25 years, we’ve shared more than £2 million in dividends with members. Savings are protected up to £85,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
How we’re supporting Birmingham members
If you’re a GMB member in Birmingham, you can open a savings account built to suit real life – whether you need quick access to your money or want to put it aside and leave it. You’ll also get friendly support to help you save with more confidence.
Choose the Saver that suits you
Member Saver - easy access
This account gives you more flexibility. You can dip into your savings whenever you need to. It’s a good option if you’re just getting started or want to build a small safety pot.
The dividend (a share of GMBCU’s surplus) is proposed annually and paid in April. The 2025 dividend rate is 3.50%. Dividends are not guaranteed.
Premium Saver - limited access
The Premium Saver is for longer-term saving. You can still access your money, but withdrawals are limited, so it’s easier to leave it alone and let it grow.
The 2025 dividend rate is 4.50%, paid in April. Dividends are not guaranteed.
A little extra to help you get started
As part of the Birmingham Pay Justice campaign, GMB members in Birmingham who open a Member Saver or Premium Saver account will also get £25 on us. This is paid into a separate Prize Saver account opened in your name.
You don’t need to choose the Prize Saver. GMBCU sets it up for you and funds it with £25, so you’re automatically entered into two monthly prize draws:
- A national draw with a top prize of £5,000
- A GMBCU-only draw with a monthly prize of £500
Every £1 saved = 1 entry. That £25 gives you 25 chances straight away.
To stay eligible, your Prize Saver needs a minimum balance of £25 (which GMBCU covers to get you started). Max balance is £200. T&Cs apply.
