Credit unions offer alternative to costly payday loans
By Dan Petrella/CU-CitizenAccess – A few local institutions do offer alternatives to payday loans at a significantly lower cost.
Central Illinois Credit Union, which has locations in Champaign and Urbana, has been offering a “payday alternative loan†to its members since 2005, when its president, Cheryl Merkel, saw a group of UI law students present a report they had written about similar products at other credit unions across the country.
