For Safe Savings and Affordable Loans
Standard Loans
North East Warrington Credit Union's standard loans are savings based. You need to be a member and saving on a regular basis. Regular savings payments need to be made for a minimum of 10 out of 13 weeks. You can then borrow up to £200 or the amount in your savings plus £125, whichever is the larger. Once this has successfully been repaid you can borrow up to 3 times your savings up to a maximum of £10,000 with NEWCU Board approval.
