Can I have a loan straight away?

You need to save regularly for at least 13 weeks before you are eligible to apply for a loan.  The amount you can borrow is based on the amount you have in savings.  It is usually twice your savings for a first loan then up to three times your savings on any further loans.

Is my money safe?

Yes, by law the credit union has to cover itself against fraud and be audited every year.  The Financial Services Authority, the same organisation that oversees banks and building societies, also regulates Credit Unions.
