FAIRshare Saver Loan

Build up savings with a FAIRshare Saver Loan

A FAIRshare Saver Loan allows members to borrow £500 up to £7500 over a maximum of 60 months. With a Saver Loan, you build up savings whilst repaying your loan, and it can also help improve your credit rating. Smaller loan amounts will be considered.

When you borrow from us, part of each regular deposit is allocated to savings after loan repayments has been deducted.  We call this ‘Save As You Borrow‘ and its one of the great benefits of borrowing from FAIRshare.

If we decline a loan application based on affordability, you will have the opportunity to reapply after 6 months from the date of the original decline decision.
