How to apply

We only lend to members for productive purposes at fair and affordable interest rates. Credit Unions encourage thrift and prudence in communities and have saved many people from unscrupulous money lenders.

Who Can Get A Loan?

All members of our Credit Union are eligible for loans provided they fulfill the conditions current at the time of their application.

What Size Loan Can I Get?

The amount taken as a loan is influenced by a few factors:

  1. The reason for the loan
  2. Your ability to repay the loan, which also takes into consideration your previous savings and borrowing history.
  3. The amount of money available to the Credit Committee as a loan fund.

Each application is treated on its merits and you’re encouraged to clear any existing loans before seeking a new one. However, an outstanding loan does not prevent a new loan application. In some cases, we may seek a guarantor for any loan granted.
