ENGAGE

The ethical account that rewards credit union members

The ENGAGE account and Visa debit card works just like an account from a high street bank but is only available from your ENGAGE accredited credit union. You can use your ENGAGE card to shop, pay bills and save money with our cashback rewards program.

At Manchester Credit Union, we’re delighted to offer you a brand new pre-paid visa debit card -

The ENGAGE Classic - the prepaid card you can bank on!

ENGAGE Classic is a reloadable prepaid card and e-account that works similar to a high street bank account. Anyone who's a member of Manchester Credit Union can apply and no credit checks are required.

  • Please note that Engage Visa debit card is an electronic money product and although it is a product regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, it is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Any funds received by you are held in a segregated account so that in the unlikely event that Contis Financial Services Ltd becomes insolvent; your funds will be protected against claims made by creditors.
