Hidden Fees
There are no hidden fees or transaction charges.

Interest Rates

Loans
Once you are eligible for a credit union loan, repayment terms can be designed around your needs.

Insured
Your credit union loan is insured – subject to terms and conditions – at no direct cost to you. Other lenders charge for this.

No Penalties
You can pay off your loan early, make additional lump sum repayments or increase your regular repayments, without a penalty. Other lenders may charge you extra for paying them back faster!
