Very happy to have learned about mcu. Its been so helpful in times of need. Being able to save in an easy but secure way is great! You can use the app to manage your repayments and savings too! The repayments are manageable and the staff are always helpful and friendly! We had an unexpected funeral to pay for around Christmas time and we have children and we was told about mcu and the loan really did help us... then we carried on using mcu since and have been saving too! Thankyou mcu Reviewed on: 18th May 2022
