FAQ
What is a Covered Loan?
A MFCU Covered Loan allows you to borrow an amount equal to your savings in a fast & secure way. It’s one of the easiest & cheapest ways to borrow from us, with our discounted interest rate of 6.99%.
What can I do with a Covered Loan?
You can use a MFCU Covered Loan for almost anything you need to borrow for. Whether that be to pay for a holiday, to fund a wedding, or for something else entirely – you can make it happen with a Covered Loan from Member First Credit Union.
What is the difference between unsecured and secured loans?
A secured loan uses security or collateral to support the loan (like a mortgage), while unsecured loans do not attach collateral to the debt. For instance, with the MFCU Covered Loan, members can borrow at a signifcantly reduced interest rate as the loan is secured by their savings with us.
Can I overpay my repayments on the loan?
Yes, of course! With MFCU, there is no penalty for early or lump sum repayments on our loans (excluding Mortgages).
How long does it take for loan approval?
We aim to come back to you with a decision within 24 hours of receiving your loan application. With an MFCU Covered Loan, we can approve the loan very quickly because we don’t need supporting documentation as the savings are used as security.
