If you are 18 or over and resident in the country you can apply for an Investment Dealing Account. Charities, clubs and companies can also open an Investment Dealing Account.

You can start with as little as $50 in to your IDA. This can be a one off or a regular payment.


Can I have more than one Investment Dealing Account?

Yes, you can have as many Investment Dealing Accounts as you like but remember there is a fee for each Account opened.


Can I transfer investments from other providers to Communitypayunion?

How often will I get valuations and statements?

We send out valuation statements for all our accounts twice a year. We post statements to you unless you ask us to send it to you through our secure service. In that case we email you to let you know when it’s ready to view.

One off the main benefits of managing your account online is that you login and get a valuation at any time, and print if off for your files if you need to.
