Membership is open only to individuals who live or work in Taunton Deane or West Somerset.  There is an initial £1 joining fee and at least £1 should be paid into the share account.  An annual affiliation fee of £1 is deducted from each share account to pay for services supplied to Moorvale by national credit union organisations. Under current legislation we cannot accept business accounts. Membership application form You can print a membership application form here but please note that we cannot process applications by post.  As with all financial organisations we need to see you, together with proof of identity (e.g.passport or photo driving licence) and proof of address (e.g. a recent utility bill) before we can open your account. Who are the shareholders? Every adult (over 18) member is a shareholder.  Shares are in units of £1, the number of shares being the same as the member's savings. Member participation  We listen to the views of our members and incorporate them into the way we work.  All adult members (shareholders) are welcome to attend and vote at the Annual General meeting.  They are eligible for election to the Board and new members will be welcomed. Junior Savers We encourage young people to save for their future, those under 16 are called Junior savers and receive a special rate of interest on their savings.  The rate of interest is decided by the Annual General meeting.  Junior members are not shareholders and cannot take out loans, which are only available to over 18 members.  Back to Home Page
