Credit Union product for university students

by Leave a Comment

Hoot Credit Union has introduced credit union services to students at the University of Bolton.

The savings and loan product has been tailored to support mature students or students with families who may be in receipt of loan, grant or bursary plus salary or benefits to supplement income. In year 3 of study there is no grant or bursary available to students, so encouraging students to save in years 1 and 2 to build up a pot of savings would help to reduce the worry and stress about completing their studies.

The #CEF is about finding out how community energy could benefit your local area. From tours of hydro plants and wind farms, to workshops on generating and saving energy, the Fortnight will run right across the UK.
