MoneyWorks Standard Loan is provided by London Community Credit Union (LCCU), a lender you can trust.
MoneyWorks loans through London Community Credit Union are much cheaper than many other providers.
There are lots of other member benefits with MoneyWorks LCCU loans, such as Free Loan Protection Insurance, negotiable repayment terms and interest on the reducing balance of your loan.
