How a credit union can provide a loan

The money that is saved by the members of a credit union is in turn lent out to other members. A credit union will take a members savings record with the credit union and their ability to pay as its main information when deciding whether or not to grant a loan. We will also carry out a credit check to see how you are handling any other credit you may have. First Rate Credit Union reserves the right to carry out further financial checks where necessary.
