At London Mutual Credit Union, loans are available for between £100 and £25,000. You can see the range of loan types available, the minimum and maximum amounts, and the rate of interest on our Loans Page.
Affordability
Applying and being approved are obviously two different things. In reality, the amount we can offer you will depend on your individual situation.
If you are not currently employed, the maximum we are likely to be able to consider is £1,200.
We consider things such as your income, employment and spending habits to decide whether or not the repayments are likely to be affordable to you. Sometimes, if we can’t offer you the full amount, we will be able to suggest a lower amount instead.
Improving Your Chances of Being Approved
You are more likely to be accepted if you apply only for what you need, and if the monthly repayments are realistic for you, given your income. The government’s Money Advice Service has some useful information on how to work out how much this could be.
Please bear in mind that if you are not in employment, the maximum we will be able to offer you is likely to be lower. For those in work, the limit is higher, and for homeowners, we may be able to offer as much as £25,000.
