Fair and Intelligent lending

5
I've had a loan from Sheffield Credit Union and was impressed by their loan rates, but also their care in ensuring that the loan was right for me. I was going to withdraw savings to buy something I needed, but SCU suggested that I take out a loan and showed me that I could combine repayments over a comfortable term, with continuing to save, and protect my capital. When did you get that approach from a bank? Reviewed on: 25th June 2020

Reassuring

5
I have been saving with Sheffield Credit Union for several years and have had loans which were very low interest rates and easy to repay. The staff are great, very sympathetic and explain things very well and the online account is simple and very efficient. The best thing is loan interest goes down after 3rd loan (loyalty loan). I have a very low income and can't afford to pay the banks interest charges and definitely don't want a credit card. I joined SCU after being in debt and very stressed, even though I could only save a small amount per month, they gave me a small loan which really helped me at that time. I save every week and now my daughter has become a member too. I like the principles of credit unions and am a firm supporter. Reviewed on: 25th June 2020
