To apply for a Green Loan, you must first become an ESLCU member. Membership costs £5 (£2 admin fee and £3 minimum shareholding) plus £1-monthly account maintenance. After joining, apply the same day via the Members Area. Please be aware that missed payments may affect your credit history.
We aim to process loans within 3-4 working days. However, if we need additional information to verify your household income and expenditure, such as bank statements, the processing time may be extended. This is to ensure the loan is affordable for you.
If your oil loan is approved, we will transfer the funds directly to you.
The interest-free Green Loan has no setup fees or penalties for early repayment. However, there is a recurring membership fee of £1 per month for all accounts, which must be maintained throughout the loan. Please ensure your account has enough funds to cover this fee.
