My question is, I have been offered a job in a company which works with credit unions. Credit unions provide interest-based loans. The concerned company doesn't manage any of the finance of these credit unions rather they teach their members about loans to improve chances in loan approval next time. My job will be to send emails to the ones whose loan have been declined. None other than this is required of me. Will it be permissible for me to work in this regard. I need some guidance as the job market is quite a crisis. I am constantly looking for another job, where there is no doubt. I am constantly looking for another job where there is no doubt. Please guide.

It will not be permissible to work in this position as you are part of a company that will be advising and aiding in customers interest based loans.

‌ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡعُدۡوَٲنِ

and do not help each other in sin and aggression.(5:1)

عن جابر رضي الله عنه قال لعن رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم آكل الربا وموكله وكاتبه وشاهديه وقال سواء
(رواه مسلم باب الربا)

Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) cursed the one who consumes riba and the one who pays it, the one who writes it down and the two who witness it, and he said: they are all the same. (Muslim)

And Allah knows best
