    Advantages of credit union loans

    When you borrow from a credit union you do so as a member-owner. Credit union loans are available to members to help when a need exists.

    Loan rates are cheaper than bank credit card or department store card rates.

    How much will it cost?

    With a credit union you pay only one rate of interest. It’s 1% on the reducing balance of the loan. While the APR is 12.68% a year this works out at £6.56 interest on £100.00 over 12 months. There are no loan arrangement fees or early redemption loans should you wish to repay your loan earlier than planned.

    How much can I apply to borrow?

    The loan maximum is £5,000 [subject to status] and the maximum repayment period 36 months. Borrowers must have a minimum of £50 in shares and have been members of UCPCCU for 3 months.

    How do I repay my loan?

    By a monthly banker’s order. All borrowers are expected to save while repaying their loan. Remember regular repayments give you’re a free loan life insurance cover.

    How do I apply for a loan?

    Loan application forms and loan agreement forms are available from the office. The Credit Committee processes loans every week.
