Loans

Loans from Stirling Credit Union

From £200 to £15,000. From a few months to 5 years. All our loans are open to all members and our policy is to treat all members equally. Our lending rates are quite competitive with high street banks, and much (really much) cheaper than doorstep or payday lenders.

When you borrow from a Credit Union your loan interest creates the income that keeps our doors open to all. If we earn a profit on interest receipts, we pay it out as a dividend.

Your loan is written off if you die before your loan is cleared (exceptions apply).
