Payroll Loan

Payroll Loans are designed for employees of our payroll partners. They are for loans between £50 and £7,500 with a preferential loan rate of 9.9% to 26.8% APR. How much you can borrow and the interest rate is dependent on application, your credit score and affordability.

How does the interest work?

Interest on credit union loans is charged monthly on the declining balance. This means that 42.6% APR = 3% per month / 26.8% APR = 2% per month. Using an APR helps you compare loans between lenders.

For example, suppose that you borrow £100 from us at 2%. At the end of the first month we will add 2% interest (i.e. £2) and you will owe us £102. If you pay off your loan at £10 per month, at the end of the second month you will owe us £92. We will then add interest on that at 2% (£1.84); and so on. 

You may be offered a different interest rate based on your personal circumstances or previous repayment history.

Do you use credit reference agencies?

We may carry out a check with a credit reference agency and share information with them as long as you hold products with us. If you would like to know more about how we use your information please download the guide below:What happens to my data?
