Rates and terms they state

LoanStatedText on the lender's site (verbatim)Page
Auto / vehicle loansRate: from 4.49% APRAuto Loan Rates as low as 4.49% APR*source
Auto / vehicle loansTerm: up to 7 yr84 Months ($25,000 minimum loan)source

As published on the lender's website on that date, not an offer or a quote. Your rate depends on the lender's review. A missing rate means the pages we read did not state one. For consumer loans we repeat a rate only when the lender states it as an APR (annual percentage rate, which includes fees); otherwise read the lender's own wording and ask for the APR.

Who qualifies, in their words

  • No or thin credit history considered No Co-Signer? No Credit History? No Problem! source
  • Membership required Membership eligibility required. source
  • Collateral flexible or not always required Borrow without putting up assets. source

Only rules the lender's own pages state. Other requirements may apply.

Questions to ask when you contact them

Based on what their website said when we read it on 2 Nov 2026, and what it left out. Something missing here does not mean they don't offer it: ask.

  1. Do you lend where I live, or where my business is?
    Their website does not say which area they serve.
  2. How do I become a member, and is there a fee or a minimum deposit?
    Credit unions lend only to their members.
  3. Is there a minimum loan amount?
    Their website gives a maximum ($150,000) but no minimum.
  4. What is the APR, including fees, on your home mortgages and personal loans?
    Their website does not state an APR. The APR includes fees, so it is the number to compare.
  5. Do you offer down-payment help, and is a homebuyer education course required?
    CDFI home loans often come with homebuyer education or down-payment help; their website does not say.
  6. What documents will you need from me, and how long does a decision usually take?
    Their website describes some application steps (above); ask for the full document list.

Write down the answers, who you spoke to and the date, and ask for the terms in writing before you sign.
