Borrow whilst still saving

I started credit union many years ago when my son was young & the financial help of a loan whilst still being able to build your savings without the huge interest paid back & any help or advice I was looking for was at the end of the phone & friendly customer service who'll speak you through everything in a way you'll understand ,straight up & if you can attend the thistle credit union in person? Your always greeted with a friendly face , it's honestly everyone's best option in ways of saving & borrowing with the burden of a large interest they'll never give you something you cant afford & whilst paying back your loan like I've said your savings are still building & i found it my lifeline at Christmas for holidays or any household essentials & wouldn't go anywhere else I'm a very happy customer .
