Personal Loans
- Secured & unsecured loans
- Credit building loan options
- Special seasonal loans
Use personal loans for almost any purpose: debt consolidation, vacation expenses, home improvement, and more!
We work hard to make your credit union the best place to borrow, no matter what your needs are:
Signature Loans
Based on factors such as your income, current debts and credit history, you could qualify for loans secured only by your signature.
Shared Secured Loans
Get the cash you need without depleting your savings. Borrow up to the balance in your Prime Share or Preferred Savings account at a low interest rate tied to your dividend rate and your shares will be used to secure the loan. Choose a repayment term of up to 15 years!
Credit Builder Loans
The secret to healthy credit is timely payments. Now you can build your credit and pay yourself in the process. We call it the Credit Builder Loan.
Once your application is approved‚ we’ll deposit up to $5‚000 into your share account and pledge it against the loan. That means every payment you make is really being made to yourself. When you’re done repaying the loan‚ you’ll have up to $5‚000 to spend any way you like. And your credit score will have grown too!
