Thamesbank Credit Union has and continues to support women financially with its child benefit loans and savings products. Here is just a selection of member feedback on how we have supported Thamesbank members who are women:
- “I get to save money as well as borrowing and without Thamesbank I wouldn’t be able to do.”
- “Because it helps me out when I am in need.”
- “Because it helps with Christmas and helps me to save.”
- “I’m on benefits and have a poor credit rating.”
- “It helps out a lot when I am struggling with money.”
- “It helps with Christmas where you have a year to pay back. Also, the little top-up loans are very helpful.”
- “I have different circumstances that I need to cover, and the options you have are always suited to my particular needs.”
- “The loans are affordable as the monies are deducted directly from salary so no reason to default.”
- “Thamesbank offers loans at really affordable rates.”
- “Do not feel judged by the great and friendly staff for having a low credit rating. The option of having the loan taken straight from my salary really works well for me.”
