Cash Transactor

Cash Transactor is for those who make lots of deposits or withdrawals, or who want to be able to pay regular bills, really more like a bank account than a savings account.


Key Features

  • Choice of Passbook or LINK ATM card options
  • Pay bills through direct debits and standing orders
  • 24-hour access via LINK cashpoint network if you choose the ATM card option
  • Manage your account online
  1. Opening an account

    You can start Cash Transactor with £100 and your balance can be reduced to zero later. Interest is paid on your savings on 31st March each year.

  2. Paying regular bills

    With Cash Transactor you can also pay your regular bills by direct debit or standing order. These are very simple to set up - just fill in the form provided by the organisation which will be receiving your payment - and we'll take care of the rest.

  3. Paying money in

    Deposits can be made over the counter at any of the Society's branch or agency offices, or alternatively at one of our cash machines if you choose the LINK card option.

    It is also possible to arrange to have your salary paid direct into your Cash Transactor account, or set up a regular transfer from another account. 

  4. Withdrawing money

    If you choose an ATM card you will be able to withdraw up to £250 per day from any cash machine displaying the LINK logo. There are over 40,000 LINK cash point machines in the country. You can of course withdraw money at any of the Society's branches, with instant access to cash up to £1,000 and withdrawals by cheque up to £150,000. Amounts above this may require a few day's notice.

    You can also register for our web self serve service and transfer funds to nominated accounts online.

  5. Checking your balance

    If you choose the LINK card option you can check how much is in your account at any machine displaying the LINK logo. In addition, our own ATMs allow you to order statements or receive mini-statements showing your last five transactions. All transactions will normally appear on your account immediately.

    You can also check your balance in branch and online if you register for our web self serve service.

  6. Regular statements

    We'll send you a statement at least monthly if you have used your LINK card.

  7. Online services

    You have the option to manage your account online. For example, you can check your balance, transfer money to another account or view your tax and interest rate details. To take advantage of this facility, you will need to register for online services once you have opened the account. Find out more about what you can do online.
