They have been very flexible and helpful. When my son stopped getting child benefit they helped me to set up a payment plan to clear the remaining balance. Very friendly in store too Reviewed on: 10th April 2026

I had a really positive experience taking out a loan with MCU. The process was straightforward and the team were friendly and helpful. The repayments are affordable and fair and it is good to know you are borrowing from an organisation that genuinely supports the local community. Reviewed on: 10th April 2026

As a young mum to 2 kids I really appreciate the loans, it’s affordable to repay and the have never missed a payment sending my back the money that is left out of my child benefit. The ladies on the phone are absolutely lovely and will help you step my step if needed. They also understand the struggle and do not judge or have an attitude making you feel like you are begging for money, I have used them since my first baby was born in 2019, my credit score allows me to lend off other providers but I am happy with just this one. You have no idea how much this helps, the top ups seems to come when you need it the most for a good shop and school uniforms. I pay £14 back a week it’s so affordable. Thanks to credit union I always have a safety net. Couldn’t be more greatful for this company Reviewed on: 10th April 2026
