Access the money you need to make some home improvements, take that dream holiday or even upgrade your car.
Our loans are much more affordable and safer than payday and doorstep options and very competitive with many you’ll find on the high street.
What works for you is good for your community too. Unlike other lenders, we don’t line the pockets of large multi national shareholders. The interest on your loan only benefits members in our local community.
We’re on your side, we’ll always consider you for a loan even if you’ve been turned down by other lenders.
While repaying your loan, your Share 1 account is locked until the savings are more than you owe.
No loan is guaranteed, and we encourage members NOT to spend the money before they have it.
Failure to repay loans takes money from other members of the credit union and the wider community.
At Right Way Credit Union, our goal is to promote financial resilience via savings and ethical borrowing via loans and encourage thrift amongst the members and wider community by building and maintaining a robust credit union service.
