Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are there any fees associated with a Life Event Loan?
If you choose to have loan proceeds deposited directly to an account, there are no fees. However, if you choose to have loan proceeds sent to you by physical check, a $10 UPS fee will apply.
-
Do you offer any discounts on interest rates?
Yes, the Credit Union offers loan discounts to help you get the best rate possible. Keep in mind our standard rates include a 1.00% discount for automatic payments. You’ll receive an additional 1.00% rate discount for loan terms up to 36 months. Plus, you can save an extra 1.00% off your loan rate when you qualify for the Rewards Rates discount.
-
What are Reward Rates?
Rewards Rates allow you to earn more on your deposits and/or save more on your loans. To qualify for a Rewards Rate, you must meet two of the following criteria:
• Direct Deposit of at least $1,000 per month into a checking account at the Credit Union
• At least $25,000 on deposit
• At least one qualifying loan in good standing from the following list of loan types: Mortgage, Home Equity, Auto, and Credit Cards. A qualifying loan must have a current balance and credit cards must have a transaction within the past 30 days. Any Credit Union loan that is not in good standing or delinquent will disqualify you for Rewards Rates.
