If you are new to Cambrian you can click the 'Apply Now' button on any of our Loan Calculators on our website and follow the instructions.

You can apply to borrow as much or as little as you need. Our maximum unsecured loan is £25,000. All loan decisions are based on your income, expenditure and your ability to repay.

You can become a membership and apply for a loan at the same time. Cambrian Credit Union does not currently require a member to save before they apply for a loan.

Loan applications are generally turned around in 72 hours although in times of high demand this may take longer.

Your application is then given to our Loans Team to review. When deciding they will take into account, your ability to repay the loan. They will also run additional credit checks, such as a Credit Agency Search.

The team will then contact you for any additional information that they require.

APR stands for ‘annual percentage rate’. It shows the percentage of interest the borrower would need to pay on top of a loan over the course of one year. The length of different loans can vary. While some (such as mortgages) have a term of many years, others are paid off in a few days or weeks. The idea of APR is to make it easy to compare the cost by requiring all lenders to display a rate based on a 1 year period.

Yes, you can repay your loan in full at any time without penalty. You can also make additional deposits to reduce the value of your outstanding loan at any time – again without penalty.

To utilise our products and services, and to maintain those services Cambrian charge a one off set up fee for new members of £5,followed by a membership fee of £5.  The yearly membership fee is taken on the anniversary of joining the credit union.

Members can only apply for a loan after 60 days of their previous loan application as each application generates a credit report which has an impact on the members credit score. As ethical and responsible lenders we require up to date information regarding a member’s financial circumstances when reviewing each loan application and we feel it would be detrimental to a members financial health if a credit report was generated more frequently.

As some members may have limited or no credit history we ask may for a benefit to be paid in rather than a Standing Order or Direct Debit.  This will help the member to build their credit history with Cambrian. while also providing a secure repayment method.
