    Hi, some may require you to live or work in a certain area, then some will only give you a loan if you have been saving with them for a while and some will give a small loan even if you havent been saving that long, best to ask your local credit union as rules are different according to who and where.

    I have had several loans with my Credit Union..the one downside is it takes a while to get them approved and paid...usually with mine it's been about 4 weeks.
