Family Loan

We understand that the day-to-day expenses of bringing up a family can really add up and that sometimes, you might need a helping hand. 

That’s why we’ve created our Family Loan, which lets you borrow up to £1,000 using your Child Benefit for the repayments. 

It could be a real help in spreading the cost of a new laptop or gadget to help with homeschooling, or with other family costs like toys, clothes and uniforms- it’s up to you.

We pride ourselves on our fair and affordable interest rates, and at 42% APR, the Family Loan could save you hundreds of pounds compared to borrowing from other lenders.

Total repaid £1,204 Total cost of borrowing £204

Borrowing with a difference

Borrowing from a credit union is different to banks and other lenders. We’re a not-for-profit organisation, run for the benefit of members – who are co-op people just like you.

That means we can offer you competitive rates on loans, and we’ll also help you to build up a savings pot as you repay.

It’s a safe, fair and affordable way to borrow, and helps build your credit history for future borrowing. 

Fast-track Family Loan approval

The Family Loan is linked to your Child Benefit payments, so there’s a very high approval rate if you pay your Child Benefit in to the credit union, with loan decisions made by people, not computers. 

And, once you’re up and running, you can easily request to top up your loan again too.
