You can use a MFCU Personal 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 Personal Loan from Member First Credit Union.

Can I only borrow a multiple of my savings?

At Member First Credit Union, loan approval is solely based on your ability to repay a loan. There is no limit to the amount you can borrow based on your savings. With each application, we take into consideration your income and outgoings, and base your ability to repay the loan on these figures. The maximum Personal Loan amount is €75,000.

How long do I have to be a member before I apply for a loan?

You can join Member First Credit Union and apply for a loan straight away. As your ability to repay is a deciding factor, establishing a savings pattern with Member First Credit Union is recommended.
