To apply for a loan you need to be a member of Riverside Credit Union. It’s easy to join and you can find out more here. Once you’re a member you can apply for a loan and our Loan Calculator will help you to work out what is best for you.
To be eligible for a Saver loan you must have saved continuously for 10 weeks into your credit union account.
Your first loan can be up to twice the value of your shares and a maximum of £1,000.00. Your first loan must be paid back over a minimum of 10 weeks and a maximum of 12 months.
Your second loan can be up to twice the value of your shares and a maximum of £2,000.00. All further loans are double your shares up to a maximum of £5,000.00. Your second loan and all further loans must be paid back over a minimum of 10 weeks and a maximum of 60 months. You may be eligible for a top-up loan after six months.
If your child benefit is paid into Riverside Credit Union, you can take advantage of our Instant Loan.
Once your child benefit has been transferred into your Credit Union account, you can get an Instant Loan of up to £2,000.00 depending on the number of children you are receiving child benefit for. This loan must be paid off within 36 weeks.
Further Instant Loans of up to £2,000.00 are available once your first loan is fully repaid. Again, this is dependant on the number of children you are receiving child benefit for.
