With competitive rates, flexible repayments, and friendly local support, we make borrowing simple, transparent, and stress-free.

All of our loans include a Holding Saver Account, helping you build savings while you borrow and supporting long-term financial wellbeing.

Responsible Lending You Can Trust

We take our responsibility to our members and community seriously. As a responsible lender, our goal is to provide fair and affordable credit that supports, rather than strains, your financial wellbeing.

We carefully assess every loan application to ensure that repayments are affordable and manageable over the full term of the loan.

What is a Holding Saver and How Does it Work?

Our Holding Saver helps you establish a habit of saving and ensures you have funds set aside for future needs. Saving while repaying your loan, this helps you build habits that last, giving you more peace of mind.

We have a special savings account called a Holding Saver. It’s not a typical savings account you dip in and out of — instead, it’s a secure place where money is held while it’s linked to your loan.

The Holding Saver is designed to support your loan. It ensures

  • Your repayments are processed smoothly.

  • Any linked savings (such as Save as You Borrow) are held securely until your loan is fully repaid.

  • You build up a small savings pot alongside your borrowing, which becomes available once the loan is cleared.
