Speaker: Samer, British Transport Police
When did you first hear about Serve and Protect Credit Union and why did you join?
Samer: Hello. My name is Samir. I joined Serve and Protect Credit Union because, they allow me to take a loan. And I barely had to pay any interest back on it. That loan was quite important because I used it to refurbish my new accommodation.
How has the credit union helped you?
Samer: Serve and Protect Credit Union they helped me. big time, by loaning me a certain amount of money which I've used to refurbish my new accommodation. That was the first accommodation that I had with my wife. So it was quite important to make that place look nice. And I managed to get a loan from them, and I barely paid any interest back on it.
What is the best thing about being part of the credit union?
Samer: The best part about being part of Serve and Protect Credit Union is, it makes you feel like you're part of something. And also, it gives you an option to save some money by having a small fees deducted from your wages every month. And if you need to borrow any sort of money, you don't have to pay a lot of interest on it as opposed to doing it with any bank.
