Loan Repayments
The maximum interest rate which a credit union can charge is 12% (12.68% APR)*. Most credit unions have car loan interest rates which are significantly lower than that and offer a loan interest rebate at the end of the year.

Why? Imagine a Different Kind of Lender
Imagine – A loan that means you own your car.
Unlike a Hire Purchase agreement or Personal Contract Plan, with our loan you own the car from the outset. There are no scary hidden fees, additional charges or balloon payments.
Imagine – A straight-forward loan, with no sneaky conditions.
Credit unions offer flexible car loans of all sizes. You can pay off your loan early or increase your repayments, all without any penalties.
Imagine – A loan from a lender at the heart of your community. Credit unions are not-for-profit and owned by our members, the people who save with us and borrow from us. All decisions are taken at local level, in the best interest of all our members.
Imagine – A loan with built in insurance, at no cost to you.
This is designed to pay off a loan in the event of a borrower’s death – subject to terms, conditions and eligibility criteria.
What's Different about a Credit Union Car Loan?
Unlike some other forms of car finance like Hire Purchase or a Personal Contract Plans (PCP), with a credit union car loan, you own the car from the outset. There are no scary hidden fees or charges and definitely no balloon payments or mileage restrictions. If you want to own the car you're driving and want the freedom to decide when to sell it, a credit union loan may just be for you.
