If you work for one of our select partner employers, you would pay in to your Capital Credit Union savings account(s) directly from your wages or salary each pay day via payroll deduction.  The credit union organises this with your employer. Your employer will know the full amount of your payment to the credit union, however, they will not have any specific information as to what account or accounts the funds are going to.  If you do not work for one of our sponsoring employers, we have Direct Debit facilities in place.  For Direct Debits, you can choose your payment frequency and your preferred payment day or date.
