National Car Loan Scheme

Use this link to obtain important information about the future of the Commissioners' car loan and value-linked loan schemes.
The Church Commissioners have given notice of an in-principle decision to close some loan schemes to new business from summer 2009.

We operate a national scheme of car loans for all serving clergy, deaconesses and licensed lay workers paid through this office. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer loans to retired clergy. The maximum loan is currently £9,820 and interest is charged at 5% p.a.

Repayments (normally over 4 years) will be deducted at source from stipend.

An application form is available from the resources menu on the left hand side of this page. If you wish, you may complete the application form on screen but upon completion you will need to take a print, sign it and forward it to your diocesan / chapter office. Please note that each diocese has an arrangement for countersignature and, in some cases, this may be carried out at your diocesan office or by your Archdeacon. If in doubt please contact your diocesan office before returning the application form.

Provided there are no queries with the completed form, upon countersignature it will be forwarded to us to administer and a BACS credit or cheque payment will be arranged as soon as possible. In cases of extreme urgency please contact your diocesan office as they may be able to help.
