ACard scheme introduced across country

The ACard scheme, which has already benefited countless credit union customers, has now been extended across the country.

Participating credit unions can issue ACards to their members, which allow them to pay for goods at any Argos store, with money from their savings account or loan.

All money held on the ACard will then gain a five per cent bonus, which is paid to the customer by Argos.

Laurence Singer, corporate responsibility manager at Argos, said: "This is an extension of a great initiative which we believe encourages saving through membership of credit unions and improves the credit options available to our customers."

Customers can also benefit from special deals available through the Argos website.
