Big lenders can afford to advertise, but their services can cost more. Credit Unions can't don't have big budgets for advertising. They are not for profit, so they offer good deals on loans, and if you save your money is safe, covered by FSCS up to £85,000 just like in a bank.

Do you love your #CreditUnion more than cake? Credit Unions operate the same way all over the world, working for their members and offering great savings and loan products. #CreditUnionDifference#ILoveMyCreditUnion
Any way you slice it, credit unions are a better choice:
🍰 Delicious rates on loans and savings
🍰 Sweeter service from folks who treat you like family

Attention Scotwest Members! Ahead of exciting changes to our online banking, we are asking that Members log in to their account to ensure that the email and mobile phone number listed are up to date. This will allow you to easily register for the new system when the time comes.
In our Member Survey, 98% of respondents said applying for a Scotwest loan is easy. We have a range of loans for whatever you need right now, whether it’s home improvements, a new car or a quick loan to help with any unforeseen emergencies. Find out more: https://t.co/AL6zx9kwcR
This really shows you anyone can get caught out by scammers and fraudsters after your money. It pays to always be alert, and always check who you are speaking to. Legitimate callers are happy for you to check them out before giving any details or access to your device.
What you see is what you get with a Scotwest Loan - we don't try to hook you in with a low rate only available to some people. So if it's for home improvements, a new car, a holiday or even emergencies, the rate you see on our site is the rate you get: https://t.co/AL6zx9kwcR

With the news Provident have stopped doing doorstep loans credit choices have reduced. (Although you may say we're better off without a lender pushing loans to people unable to ever repay them) Please remember your local credit union may be able to help!
