Save As You Borrow Loan

Save As You Borrow Loan

Save As You Borrow loans (SAYB) are the most popular loan for members on low incomes, who need help to build up their savings, or those with a poor credit record.

We provide two SAYB loan products. These provide higher upper loan limits, longer repayment periods and, for those on monthly net incomes above £800, lower interest rates.
