Members Loans


Sometimes you need to borrow more than you have deposited with MBCU. Because this presents a greater risk to MBCU, we charge a higher interest rate than for Rainy Day loans.

  • Borrow up to 3 times your current balance with MBCU.
  • Repay within 5 years, sooner if you wish.
  • Repay weekly or monthly.
  • Interest rate 2.0% per month (26.89% APR).

How much will it cost?

It depends how much you borrow, and for how long. For example:

  • Borrow £2500 and repay in 24 months: this will cost about £132 per month and you'll pay about £3170 in total
  • Borrow £1000 and repay in 12 months: this will cost about £95 per month and you'll pay about £1135 in total
