How To Apply For a Credit Union Loan Application:
You can apply for a loan in a few different ways: you can apply quickly online, by phone at the same office, or by visiting a specific credit union office. Make sure you have the following ready before you apply for a loan:
- Your National Insurance Number
- Your bank account number and sort code (if applicable)
- Online banking access credentials (if you opt for Open Banking)
In addition, you can apply to become a member of the Credit Union at the same time as your loan application if you’re not one already. As long as they have paid off their outstanding loans in full within the last six months, current members are free to apply whenever they like.
Step-by-step guidance on how to go through the process of obtaining a credit union loan:
1. Use the sliders to pick how much you want to borrow and how long you'll take to pay it back:
2. Qualification Criteria:
Ensure you qualify. If you don’t meet the requirements (like if your income is too low), go back in your browser and pick a different loan amount and term.
3. Terms For Borrowing:
Carefully read the loan terms. Basically, Credit Union can’t give you a loan if you’re in a Debt Management Plan, Debt Relief Order, or bankruptcy. Although TransUnion will be used to verify your credit, a lower credit score does not preclude you from applying.
4. Existing Members of credit unions:
Choose whether you wish to join the Credit Union or remain a member (applications from current members will be handled by us going forward).
5. Filling Of Personal Details:
Complete your personal information. Choose if you’d like to get news and money tips through email.
6. Work Address And Other Details:
If you have a job, put in your work zip code and choose your address from the list. Tell us how much money you get every month from your job, or if you get benefits, tell us the total amount you receive each month. Give us your National Insurance Number and say if you don’t have a serious health problem, which is important for insurance. If you do have a serious health problem, let us know.
7. Home Address And Other Details:
Enter your zip code and select your address from the list to provide us with your address details. Let us know if you’ve been living there for three years. If you haven’t been there for three years, you’ll need to give us a second address.
8. Loan Purpose and Bank Details:
Tell us how long you want to pay back the loan and for what purpose. Please choose the day of the week you would like to make the payment whether you are repaying every week or every two weeks. Indicate to us the day of the month you would like money to be deducted from your account for monthly payments. Additionally, let us know if you plan to use Child Benefit to pay back the loan. Please enter your bank account information here if you have one.
9. When you're prepared, click on "apply now."
After finishing the application, you will be shown a confirmation screen, and you’ll also receive an email confirming your application. We will reach out to you as soon as we can.
In my opinion, this procedure guarantees that applicants are notified when their application is finished and gives them reassurance that their submission was received. In keeping the application process open and efficient, it also establishes the expectation that more communication will come soon.

Secured, co-signed and joint loans are the easiest to get with bad credit. A secured loan requires collateral like a car or savings account, which the lender can take if you fail to repay. A co-signed or joint loan requires you to add someone with better income and credit to the application.
To qualify for a personal loan, borrowers generally need a minimum credit score of 610 to 640. However, your chances of getting a loan with a low interest rate are much higher if you have a “good” or “excellent” credit score of 690 and above.
