Dividend
Dependent on whether we make a surplus, we offer members a return on their savings in the form of a dividend. This is agreed by our members at the Annual General Meeting.
At BDCU we believe in saving as you borrow so as part of your loan agreement we ask you to pay into your savings account. This means that after you have repaid your loan you will be in a stronger financial position having built up some savings.
