We might perform a full credit reference agency search in order to check your ability to repay a loan and also to clarify that the information given on the loan application is accurate.
Bridgend LifeSavers Credit Union is a responsible lender and sometimes we need to make sure that you can comfortably afford the repayments before we approve a loan.
You can use our loan calculator! This will give you a very good idea of what your desired loan may cost per month, and what the monthly repayments will look like. You can also give us a call to discuss as well.
We would ask you to give us a call as soon as possible so we can discuss your personal situation and look at ways we can help.
