Barbadians who have savings and loans with two of the island’s largest credit unions are being assured they will not face user fees, or an increase in interest rates for loans.

Group chief executive officer of the Barbados Public Workers Group of Companies, Glyne Harrison, said the credit union would be rolling out the service for its near 100 000 members this week.
