Our Select Loans are very flexible and are perfect for established Advance Credit Union members with a history of saving with us and those in employment with a good credit history.
The interest rate is fixed – it won’t increase during the term of your loan. And you can pay off your loan early or extend it up to 3 years.
Top Ups are permitted when half your loan balance is paid off, so you may even be able to borrow more during the term of your loan. The choice is yours! Note that your first loan with Advance Credit Union must be paid back in full before applying for a second loan.
