Loans

Forest savers can help tide you over at a saving of around £90 a year

*As Credit Unions promote savings, we require you to continue saving £10 per month

on top of your loan repayments.

This means that after 12 months you could have a total of £120 saved on your shares

Loan repayment period

You can repay the total outstanding loan with any interest on your next payday with no added charges.

If this is not possible then just stay with the schedule

Loan process

Unlike our regular loan, the Quick loan gives you easy access of up to £2000, which could help towards things such as school uniform, holiday deposit, Christmas presents to name a few 

This loan is available to all members without an existing loan. 

Loans are available to members once they have saved with us for three consecutive months.

Once the member meets the criteria we allow them to apply for up to 2x their savings (shares) value

Member (A) has £300.00 in her share account, x2 = £600.00 (highest loan application value)

If a member has saved with us over three years then they are able to apply for 3x their shares.

Member (B) has £1500.00 in shares, x3 = £4500.00 (highest loan application value)
