Why borrow from your Credit Union? 

A Credit Union loan is better in so many ways:

Over the last 16 years we have paid a rebate on the loans our members have taken with us.

This rebate (although varies year to year) for 2016 was 35%. That means you get 35% of the interest you have paid on your loan back into your account.
