Best credit union to join?

Post by Steh1979 »

Looking to join a credit union, but unsure of which one is more beneficial and which offers more.
There is a 3 on offer, but which one is best?

Thanks. Steh1979, Liverpool.

I use Commsave. So far they have been excellent. Can't comment on any others.

I joined Penny Post after recommendation from family member.
I've never had to take out a loan but my relative has taken out a couple of loans in the past.
They've had no difficulty in getting the loans or making the repayments.
Use a credit union that can take your savings direct from your pay as you don't miss the money after the first couple of weeks.

How long did you save up to buy a house?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I've never paid a single penny in interest on anything I've bought and It took me about 7 years to save up for my house on posties wages so it can be done. Although to be fair that was in the 90's before the last housing boom.
