Loans Jamaica

At the credit union, they know that it is usually a proud moment for you when your children are accepted to university. But that joy sometimes turns to sadness, as you look at the cost of education today. The cost of tuition, books, accommodation, lunch, transportation and miscellanous expenses sometimes requires a huge expenditure.

However, as a credit union member, you were mindful of this pending event, so perhaps you had been skimping and saving some money, but you did not dream that the cost of educating your child would be so expensive. So, now you are wondering where to turn.

Well, you can turn to your credit union. Your credit union knows your needs. That is why they will lend you money to educate your child. But, you have to take the necessary steps.

Steps to borrowing from your credit union

Find a credit union representative who is easy to talk to. Loan officers will typically spend the time not only to take you through the steps involved in borrowing, but they will give you the necessary advice about the amount of money you need, what you need to secure the loan, and the repayment plan.

At your credit union, you will be treated with care and understanding, and you can come away feeling assured that your child will receive a good education because you can now afford to pay for it.

If your child is under 15 years of age, and not yet ready for university, you probably need to start saving now on their behalf, or teach them how to save – by opening an account for them. When the time comes, you can withdraw the savings or use it to secure education loans.

Remember also, that help is available for children who are already attending university. Don’t get caught off guard. Plan! But if you did not plan, your credit union can help you to get over this hurdle. Contact your credit union today.
