Have a Happy 2023!
Whether 2023 is your year for planning a short UK break, a lazy week in the sun relaxing by the pool or something more adventurous, why not chat to your local credit union about a flexible holiday loan or ethical holiday savings account?
Credit unions are not for profit organisations, owned and controlled by their members rather than shareholders. They are committed to helping their members and local community through offering limitless financial services that improve their quality of life. Credit unions and banks serve members differently. Credit unions can offer some of the best rates on the market and dividends for their members whilst delivering a highly personalised service.
Many people may think it is difficult to join a credit union due to specific rules and regulations, however, there are many credit unions who have different requirements for joining members, therefore essentially there is a credit union for everyone! Find your local credit union at www.creditu.co.uk and choose the right service for you.
