Other Loans
Credit Builder
The Credit Builder Loan allows the member to build or rebuild their credit history by laying-away the proceeds of a loan (up to $10,000) in their Share Savings Account while they make regular, online monthly payments during a 24-month repayment period.
By laying the proceeds of the loan away in this manner, the member will:
- Build a positive credit history with the credit union that will be reported monthly to all major credit bureaus
- Build a sizable savings balance that will earn dividends and grow as the loan is being paid off
Share Pledge
The member can borrow against the money they have in their Share Savings Account or Certificate Account by pledging those funds towards a Share Pledged Loan. Because they are pledging their savings, this is usually the fastest and least expensive way to borrow money. Payments for a Share Pledged Loan can be made effortlessly through payroll deduction.
Signature Loan
Signature loans are loans secured solely by a member's good name. Borrowing power is based on personal financial history, credit score, and current income.
Members with a monthly take-home pay of $500 or more can find out their eligibility for a Signature Loan by going through the application process. After an evaluation of the applicant's financial status, the amount of the Signature Loan, from $100 to the individual's maximum, is determined, based on the member's circumstances.
Student Loans & Refinance
Student Loans
With college costs on the rise, it's more important than ever for students and families to plan carefully and fully understand all financial aid options. By maximizing no- and low-cost financial aid, choosing student loans carefully, and developing proper money management skills, it's still possible for students to leave college with a bright financial future . . . and not just a mountain of debt!
When scholarships, grants, and federal aid aren’t enough, private student loans can be a necessary and cost-effective way to fill educational funding gaps. Undergraduate students should consider private student loans only after taking advantage of all lower-cost sources of funding, including Federal Stafford loans.
