[originaltext]Welcome to the information line of the State Investment Society.

Welcome to the information line of the State Investment Society. Why would you choose to put your money into an investment society and not a bank? Well, SIS offers everything you’d expect from a bank but the difference is we’re a cooperative. We’re 100% owned by our customers—people like you—and that means we always put your best interests first. You won’t see our profits going into large foreign-owned finance corporations. No, you’ll see them coming back to you and your local community.
    As a co-operative, we work hard to keep our fees competitive and absolutely minimal. Even better, we can advise you about ways to avoid fees. Here are some suggestions: firstly, we recommend you carry out as much of your personal banking as possible with us. We won’t charge account fees unless your account becomes inactive for some reason. See? No unnecessary fees. Secondly, if you maintain certain minimum account balances, you won’t have to pay any transaction charges for transferring money between any accounts that have the same customer number, although there may be some service charges that apply such as the establishment of automatic payments. So, how can we help you?
