Review of the Capital Credit Union, Loans:

Help Was There When It Was Needed Most

This was some time ago, but I had just bought a house one year after starting a new job (where I am still employed after two decades). A work colleague suggested I open a savings account with Capital Credit Union. I did (barely able to afford to save anything in those days) but more importantly when old household appliances began to break and needed replaced I was out of options: the high street banks weren't interested as I didn't earn a lot back then even though I had a permanent, secure job, and the tiny amounts I was able to save each month meant it would literally take years to save up for these items (one item was a new washing machine, so going for years without one was not an option!). Repayments on store or credit cards would have been more than I could afford to repay each month due to the high levels of interest. So I applied to Capital Credit Union who were happy to help and provided me an affordable loan. It was then I encouraged family members to become Capital Credit Union members too. Two decades later I'm still a member saving each month. I haven't applied for a loan in many years as I have been promoted a few times at my work and life is much more comfortable now. But the important point is: I am happy to be a member of an organisation which today will be offering help to those who are unable to receive it elsewhere, people who are in the situation now where I was when I was starting out. I am proud to support such an organisation as this which was there to give me help when it was needed most. Reviewed on: 14th April 2025
