The Blues and Twos Credit Union are passionate about helping members to save and there when you need to borrow.  Whilst saving you can apply for a credit union loan.  We call it “Save as you Borrow”.  We offer loans for many reasons including home improvements, holidays, cars and to support members with everyday expenses such as unexpected bills, car repairs or medical issues. We have a selection of credit union loan product to choose from based on your requirements. We offer fair and competitive fixed rates and there are no hidden charges.

The credit union loan calculator is there to give you a flexible indication as to the cost of borrowing different amounts of money over varying repayment periods.  Blues and Twos is a good way to build your credit confidence and can contribute towards future lifestyle changes, such as applying for a mortgage on a house. When taking one of our loans you are also asked to save at least £10 every month, helping you to retain a monthly ‘maybe’ in your savings account.  You could save enough to repay your loan early.

Please note: We solely lend to members of Blues and Twos Credit Union.  We treat all members individually and all applications fairly.  A Policy for Lending is followed for all application decisions.
