Please download the loan application form as an **EDITABLE PDF, completing in full and sending it via email to creditunion@harpandcrown.co.uk or posting it in to the office. **You can complete your application via mobile using the Adobe PDF app for Android or Apple.
You can also telephone, or call in to the office and complete paperwork in person during our opening hours Monday-Friday between 9am to 5pm.
Alternatively "online banking" registered members can complete a loan application securely online.
Please note that all applications may be subject to Credit Check, depending on circumstances.
Upon processing the loan, a 'Loan Agreement' form is completed by the Loans Officer detailing the terms and conditions of borrowing and outlining repayments. Please ensure you read all the terms and conditions in full and can afford the repayments as outlined.
The 'Loan Agreement' must be signed before the loan can be issued. Therefore, if you tick on the initial application that you wish to call to the office to sign the 'Loan Agreement', you can do this during the opening hours. If your loan needs to go to Committee for approval, you may want to wait until after the meeting has passed, to avoid making two trips. If you tick on the initial application that you want the 'Loan Agreement' form emailed or posted to you - it will be sent out to you to sign and return. Once the 'Loan Agreement' is returned to the office, after approval, the funds will be transferred to your bank account. Only in exceptional circumstances will a cheque will be issued.
If you do not hear from us, you may assume that your loan has been approved. We will only contact you if there has been a problem or query - you therefore do not need to contact the office to check if your loan has been approved.
Loans approved at Credit Committee will be available for issue, depending on the arrangements you have made, on the day of the meeting - funds will be transferred to your account directly.
All loans are subject to approval and to the availability of funds.
All business with the Credit Union is conducted in the strictest of confidence.
