  • Credit union savings accounts from 0 years;
  • Merchant rewards;
  • ‘Come and buy now’ sales through SMS text and email alerts.
  • Credit union financial education workshops, including digital fintech skills ;

International Students

The Pennine Pound is also great for international students returning home from our universities and colleges. You can still continue to get discounts from our local shops and businesses using your Pennine Pound Visa top-up card.
