Planning and managing repayments

Credit unions are flexible with regard to repayment plans, though there are some legal limitations to length and amount of loans. The member will be advised on the best repayment plan to meet their own circumstances. Ten years is currently the maximum loan term although five years is the recommended norm. Should a member experience difficulties in meeting repayment commitments, they should immediately contact us and we can talk in confidence about the situation. Depending on circumstances, the loan will be renegotiated if possible.

There are no penalties associated with clearing your loan quicker than agreed.

Loans are subject to approval. If you don't not meet your repayments your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating , which may limit your ability to access credit in the future.
