Do you need a loan, or help to beat the credit crunch? Do you have trouble saving, or opening a bank account?
Don't go to a loan shark, or let your debts build up. Come and chat to a friendly adviser from Manchester Credit Union (MCU).
A credit union is a local, ethical, financial co-operative, similar to a building society, owned and controlled by members. It offers low-cost loans, easy ways to save, and other financial help to anyone living in the area.
Pop in
A new branch of MCU has opened for business at our own local housing office on Alexandra Road. Just pop in any time between 10am and 12noon, Monday to Friday, to see what they can do for you.
“Many people can’t get loans, or even open bank accounts”, explains Niall Power, our head of regeneration. “We strongly advise you not to borrow from doorstep lenders, but to get professional, confidential advice and services from MCU.”
Come along to find out more, or for more information contact MCU on 0161 231 5222, or email: info@manchestercreditunion.co.uk
