A Lifesaver!

5
After joining Manchester Credit Union, I had never known or received so much flexibility or access when applying for a Family Loan. What makes this particular service so ideal for me is that I can easily pay it off weekly without it affecting my budget, yet also allowing me to save funds at the same rate in which it takes to clear my outstanding balance. Once my balance is clear I can if I so wish to reapply for another Loan. This service has literally been a lifesaver for me and my family and as a single parent, I have benefited deeply from a low-interest affordable loan that I could never possibly apply for from any high street bank and in such an easy and unbiased manner. The application process is uncomplicated and I would highly recommend it to others and I have done so. Reviewed on: 24th June 2021
