Consumer Loans

product image
We offer a variety of personal loans at competitive low annual percentage rates to use for any purpose such as purchasing a new computer, paying off high interest credit cards, taking a family vacation and much more!

 

Personal & Co-signer Loan - Your good credit and a signature is all you need. Offering generous loan amounts for qualified members with terms up to 60 months.

 

Personal Line of Credit - It can replace the need for one or several signature loans. Once a line of credit has been approved you may borrow a minimum of $500 up to your credit limit. A definite advantage for this type of loan is the speed with which you will receive your money after the credit line has been established.

 

Consolidation Loan - Need to consolidate? Maybe high interest credit cards are becoming a real nuisance. Whatever the reason, if you need up to $10K we can arrange it quickly.

 

Share Secured Loan - Your credit status or debt ratio is of no concern with this loan. Simply use your savings account as collateral for the equal amount and your loan is approved immediately. As the balance owed on the loan decreases, an equivalent amount becomes available in your savings.  You'll also pay a much lower interest rate while continuing to earn dividends on the savings.

 

Over Draft Line of Credit - This credit line works in conjunction with your Share Draft Account. It advances up to $1,500 to your checking account in the event checks are presented against insufficient funds, thereby saving you the cost and embarrassment of returned checks.Loan Single/Joint Application
