Workplace Savings for Employers

Smiling employee discussing Marsden Building Society's Workplace Savings scheme

We believe in financial well-being and removing barriers to saving is a great way to achieve this. Our Workplace Savings scheme lets employees put money from their salary away before it's paid to their bank account, helping them to reach their saving goals more easily.

What is Workplace Savings for employers?

Our Workplace Savings scheme helps your employees build financial resilience through small, regular savings taken directly from their salary, post-tax and other deductions.

With no cost to you as an employer, setting up a scheme is a positive step in supporting employees to reduce financial stress and build better financial resilience.

Why should employers offer Workplace Savings?

Our Workplace Savings scheme helps employees start with small regular contributions to make a meaningful difference to their financial resilience.

By facilitating automatic savings through payroll, you help:

  • Remove barriers to saving
  • Encourage positive financial habits
  • Improve financial well-being and mental health
  • Reduce financial stress-related absences
  • Increase productivity
How it works for businesses

Our team can help you with the rollout of a scheme by talking to your employees about Workplace Savings during a drop-in session and helping them to open an account should they wish to do so. Alternatively, we can provide you with all the literature you need to roll it out yourself. The choice is yours!

How it benefits employees

The scheme encourages employees to start small. Each account has a minimum opening balance of £1, and after that the minimum monthly payment is just £5. Removing barriers to saving helps them take a positive step towards better financial well-being.

Better financial well-being can improve mental health as well as ease the stress of unexpected costs by providing a buffer for emergencies.

How do I launch a scheme?

Once your business is signed up, putting the scheme in place is simple. Your employees register for an account with us online, and when they have their account number from us, complete a form to tell you how much they'd like to save each month. You compile the information on a simple spreadsheet that we provide, make the deduction when arranging pay and send us one single payment to cover all employees signed up to the scheme. We do the rest!

The only extra tasks you need to complete each month are checking your spreadsheet for updates and sending it over to the Marsden, along with making the single payment to your account.

The key difference is the automatic deduction from an employee’s salary before it lands in their Marsden account. This makes saving effortless and reduces the temptation to spend before saving, helping to build financial resilience and well-being.

Remove their details from the spreadsheet to stop deductions. The employee keeps their account with the Marsden and can continue to save independently if they wish to do so.

Yes, they’re protected up to the new limit of £120,000.
