Loans

Every loan is carefully reviewed to insure that your credit union's money is wisely loaned. Under our federal examiner's instruction, we run credit checks on every loan. Debt ratios are also utilized to determine a borrower's ability to repay their loan. There is a $5.00 non-refundable processing fee for all loan applications.

LOAN APPLICATIONS:

Loan applications are available in the credit union and a $5.00 application fee is required with a returned, completed application. Our Credit Committee meets everyday at 12:30pm to review loan applications. Please contact the credit union office to verify approval and make arrangements with the office staff for availability of the completed security agreement.

SECURED OR PARTIALLY SECURED LOANS

We will grant loans above the fixed loan limits based on funds in share accounts. Loans will be granted for regular qualified limit amount plus additional amount requested in shares. Maximum loan will be $45,000 (of which only $25,000 is insured) which must be repaid within 72 months. The $45,000 loan limit excludes home equity loans. There is a 30 day length of membership requirement on secured loans.

CAR LOANS

Maximum loan will be $45,000 (of which only $25,000 is insured) including any other loans except share secured. For further information, contact any Board or Credit Committee member.

FROZEN SHARES

All pledge shares not exceeding the unpaid balance of any loan are automatically frozen at the date of said loan. Any shares (in excess of loan payment) deposited after insurance of loan are not to be frozen and may be withdrawn (providing proper forms secured during credit union hours are completed).

BUSINESS FUNDING

Provide last three (3) months of business bank statements and a short application to one of our reputable small business funders. We have relationships with several business funding sources including Green Capital Funding, Merchant Advance, and Fastest Merchant Funders.  A maximum of two refinances are allowable before a loan must be repaid.

HOME EQUITY LOANS

College tuition, home improvement or just a well-deserved vacation are all good reasons to apply for a second mortgage home equity loan. By letting us become either first or second lienholder on your home, you can get a low interest rate loan that might even be tax deductible.

PAYROLL DEDUCTION

Payroll deduction allows you to set aside a portion of your net pay to automatically make loan payments or save money in a Savings or Club Account.

CERTIFIED CHECKS

A certified check is your personal check which the credit union certifies and hold funds from your account to pay. The fee for all certified checks is $5.00.
