Have you ever thought about switching to an electric or hybrid vehicle?
Sherica was in need of a new car and wanted to do something for the environment – she used our Green Loan to make this possible!
Finding her local credit union
Sherica joined South Manchester Credit Union back in 2018 after hearing about credit unions through a friend.
Sherica often struggled to pay larger, unexpected expenses – her friend told her we may be able to help.
After joining to apply for a loan with us she continued to use her account here to build a sustainable savings habit and borrow when she needed to.
Going down a greener road
Cars are essential for many of our day-to-day lives now. For young families, the right car can make life much simpler and more affordable.
Sherica is a mother of 3 who relies on her car to get her daughters out and about. When she realised she needed a new car, she decided to “do her bit for the environment” at the same time.
Sherica had tried to look for affordable ways to finance an electric vehicle but didn’t have any luck.
After struggling to find a way to purchase a new car, Sherica received an email from us about our Green Loan and applied straight away – it was the perfect solution for what she had been looking for.
Green finance from her local credit union
By opting for our Green Loan over a financing option, it gave security to Sherica – the car was hers straight away. Sherica found the application process simple and smooth, which was refreshing after negative experiences with other providers.
Sherica applied for her Green Loan easily through our secure mobile messaging app. Applying from the comfort of her own home suited Sherica massively – she was able to keep an eye on the kids, with the peace of mind that her application was being handled.
“It meant everything to me. Helping me get a vehicle to be able to do everyday things with my family.”
“South Manchester Credit Union is very helpful as a single mother of 3.”
Sherica’s path to peace of mind
Sherica has now been a member of South Manchester Credit Union for 7 years – yay!
She often recommends us to other people and has had a great experience with us.
“I have recommended South Manchester Credit Union in the past and will continue to do so.”
