Rising Bills: How We Can Help You
With news today that Energy Bills are set to rise by more than expected in October we know this will cause stress and anxiety for many and will stretch household budgets even further.
At Merthyr Credit Union we want to support you with simple ways to save money and borrow safely if you need to and give you links to organisations who can help.
Saving – Even a Little Helps
We know it can be hard to save when prices are high. But putting aside even a small amount each week can help in the future. Saving with us is easy, and your money is safe.
Even just a few pounds here and there can add up. Having savings can help if you face an unexpected cost, like a broken fridge or a car repair.
Need to Borrow? We have a range of loans to suit you
If you need extra money, we offer fair and affordable loans. Unlike payday lenders or credit cards with high fees, we offer clear and honest loans with no hidden costs.
We will always check that you can afford to pay back a loan before lending to you. We never encourage borrowing if you don’t need to.
Free Advice is Available
