The prize saver account is open to anyone who also has a regular saver account with First Rate Credit Union. If you are not already a member, you would need to join first.
Every month there is one prize of £5,000, and 10 bonus prizes of £50 and 10 bonus prizes of £20.
The PrizeSaver account is exclusive to the 14 participating credit unions. In April 2021, there were 14,153 active accounts.
The prize draw will usually take place on the 15th of each month. If the 15th of the month falls on a weekend or bank holiday, the draw may take place on a different date.
The return on a PrizeSaver account is the chance to win prizes. The savings in the account do not attract interest or dividends.
Existing members need to open a Prize Saver account and move money into it for a chance to win.
The maximum savings cap of £20,000 per member still applies. You can transfer money between accounts though.
