What is the Medway Credit Union? 

Credit Unions are not-for-profit community based, financial co-operatives. The credit union movement is both national and international with around 160 million members worldwide and growing.  The members are drawn from those who live or work in an agreed area. The members of a credit union pool their savings together, which provides a pool of funds from which loans can be made.  It is run by the members for the members, regulated by the Financial Services Authority. This means that your money is safe.

Every member is treated equally and if you save regularly you can become eligible to apply for loans. All loans are at the same rate of interest, no matter what size, where other providers charge a higher interest rate for smaller loans.

Members are encouraged to continue saving a modest amount even when replaying a loan.  This means that the pool of money available for loans continues to grow. Having savings also provides greater financial security for the members. The amount and frequency of loan repayments are negotiable but, at present, all loans must be repaid within three years.

Savings and manageable loans...an offer you can’t refuse!
