Tip of the week: Credit union loans come with no hidden charges and no penalties for repaying the loan early. Life insurance is built in, at no cost to the borrower, so if you were to die before you had repaid the loan, insurance would repay the loan for you. Click here to find out more about borrowing from Credit unions.
