“MCU is in a position to provide a lower increase in home loan rates as its conservatively managed and operated, and the Credit Union was not directly affected by the global financial crisis, as we do not engage in sub-prime lending and/or don’t rely on the volatile wholesale funding market. The Credit Union continues to add value to its members with attractive interest rates on both deposits and loans.” says Maleny Credit Union CEO, Greg Stevens.
MCU’s attractive Green Star car loan rates will remain unchanged, which start at 6.99% p.a.
