Tail O’ The Bank Credit Union’s (TOTBCU) loan interest is calculated on a reducing balance, so you are charged interest on what you owe and not what you borrow, and that’s part of the credit union difference.
TOTBCU also offers flexible terms so you can reduce the terms with no administration fees, and pay even less interest.
