A sizeable loan approved within 48 hours!

Having paid off my previous loan, I applied online for a further loan. It was approved in 24 hours, and I have signed within 48 hours. The money is on it's way to my bank as I type. Have saved with this CU since it was Allerdale Credit. It is the best thing I have ever done - when life bites and I need extra cash, am able to apply. Always make sure I don't overstretch myself financially, and am saving whilst paying back the loan. The best insurance ever! Also, very little interest to pay. Highly recommend. Mary W.

A bank run by HUMAN BEINGS

I was paying off a loan I had received last year, but then I received an unexpected bill of over £1000. Because I was still in debt to NCB, I was very hesitant of asking for another loan. However, the loan was approved and the money was in my bank within a few days. Obviously, they ran checks to see whether I could afford the payments and made the decision to grant it.... this bank is run by HUMAN BEINGS not mindless computers. Fantastic.
