Interest on a credit union loan is calculated every day on the balance of the loan that day. This means that as the loan balance reduces, so does the interest paid so, in the long run, less interest is paid on the loan than most other lenders. It also means that if a member pays the loan in full, interest is charged only until that payment is made.
