Frequently Asked Questions

What can I do if I am struggling to repay my loan?

We understand that the current cost of living may be causing many of our members to face financial hardship. The main thing to remember is that we are here to help so don't be afraid to ask for it.

If you are struggling to make your usual loan repayments then please call a member of our team who will happily talk through some options with you or arrange a callback. You can contact the team by calling 0208 607 5020 or sending an email to info@planesaver.co.uk

If you have already missed a repayment it's important to take steps to deal with the arrears to prevent your situation from getting worse. You can talk to us about your repayments by contacting 0208 607 5020 or sending an email to creditcontrol@planesaver.co.uk



How do I save or pay into my account?

Most of our members save straight from their salary (with deductions from their payroll provider) or by Direct Debit.

If you want to make a one-off payment or set up a Standing Order, you can do this via your own online banking using our sort code and account number below.

  • Sort code: 20-61-55
  • Account Number: 40114510
  • Reference: 'PS' followed by your membership number.

Please note - Plane Saver cannot take responsibility for payments made to an incorrect account or if the wrong reference number is used. You must include a reference number with any payment. The reference number is 'PS' followed by your membership number e.g if your member number was 12345, your reference would be PS12345.



If I leave my employment, does this mean I have to leave the Credit Union?

No. We believe in the philosophy once a member always a member. So even if you leave your employment, as long as you are already a member with us you do not have to leave. You can just switch your deposit method to a Standing Order or a Direct Debit, so rather than it coming straight from your pay it comes directly from your bank.
