CREDIT UNIONS are controlled by the Financial
Services Authorities in the UK. They provide facilities
for savers and also for borrowers. Their costs of
borrowing are generally below those asked for by other
financial organisations, interest paid to savers depends
upon the individual Credit Union. Each Credit Union
has its own set of priorities, are responsible lenders
and are based around a community. They operate in a
similar fashion to ‘Friendly Societies’. Some lend for
small business projects others with less money to lend
might not. If you wish to save or borrow then contact
the relevant Credit Union who will do their best to help
you. Regular saving with a Credit Union will help
society in general as the Credit Union will have more
resources to help others who struggle to make ends
meet.
