NO BECAUSE IM NOT ON BENEFITS

1
I was saving with MCU for a few years, I was self employed at the time and had a few thousand in my saving account, then I was buying my home and I had all the money in cash apart from 3k which I asked MCU to lend me, they said NO because I'm not on benefits, so in my opinion MCU is not for the people of manchester, it's for benefit claimants, so MCU, I'm so sorry for starting my own business, maybe I should go on jobseekers just to get on in life Reviewed on: 18th May 2022
