The interest earned on loans covers the credit union's administration, with any surplus being put into reserves or paid back to members as an annual dividend.Credit union interest rates are capped by their regulators which makes them cheaper than many other lenders. Loan repayments are tailored to suit a member's budget, and there are no hidden costs or penalties. Credit Unions promote responsible lending and do not lend more than a member can afford to repay.As with banks and building societies, all savings up to £85,000 are protected under the government's Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).*Dividends are not guaranteed
