A personal loan from Connect Credit Union is a flexible amount of money you can borrow as a member for general personal needs — such as holidays, bills, household expenses, or other personal costs.

Who can apply?

How much can I borrow and for how long?

Loan amounts and terms vary depending on your needs and eligibility. This can be agreed at application and tailored to your repayment ability.

What can the funds be used for?

You can use the funds for almost anything personal — such as:

Everyday expenses

Travel or holidays

Household bills

Consolidating other debts

Unexpected costs

Can I pay off the loan early?

Yes — you can make lump sum repayments or pay the full loan early without penalty, which reduces the total interest paid
