Why a Abbey Credit Union loan is different
  • There are no hidden fees or transaction charges
  • Our interest rates are fair and reasonable compared to others in the market
  • Repayments are calculated on your reducing balance, so you pay less interest with each repayment
  • Your credit union loan is insured – subject to terms and conditions – at no direct cost to you. Other lenders charge for this
  • You can pay off your loan early, make additional lump sum repayments or increase your regular repayments, without a penalty. Other lenders may charge you extra for paying them back faster!

Our loan rate of 12.68% APR* means you can borrow at a reasonable rate of credit compared to other financial providers. Compare us to other financial service providers and you will see that you get a great deal at Abbey Credit Union Ltd.

*For a £5,000, 4 year variable interest rate loan, with monthly repayments of £132, an APR of 12.68%; the total amount payable by the member will be £6,317.
