Why are Guarantors used?
Generally, loan applicants use guarantors if they believe that they will be unable to secure a loan on their own. This might be the case for applicants who have poor credit or no credit history. Individuals can serve as guarantors or can have guarantors for their loans.
The use of a guarantor on a loan application does not ensure that the loan will be approved, because the person who guarantees the loan is considered part of the loan application, so the credit rating of that person must be evaluated along with the loan applicant or applicants.
What is a Covered Loan?
A Covered Loan allows a member to borrow funds up to the value of their shares. The shares are held as security against the loan. Covered loans offer a preferential rate of lending and a great way of protecting your savings.

Can I only borrow a multiple of my savings?
