Member Housing Advance

Member Housing Advance

We understand that home ownership is a significant goal for many of our members. That’s why we’ve designed tailored initiatives to help our members achieve this milestone through accessible, practical housing solutions. 

Members who have contributed continuously for five years or more can apply for this housing benefit. Our dedicated team will assist members throughout the process, from eligibility checks to ensuring payments are made to authorised suppliers and financial institutions. 

The housing advance is never paid directly into a member’s account.
