Auto / vehicle loansTerm: see their wordingplazos de pago de hasta 84 mesessource
Energy / solar / efficiency loansTerm: see their wording15 años (180 meses)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

  • Membership required Requisitos: Ser socio de BONICOOP. source
  • Collateral required Colateral en acciones no comprometidas según evaluación crediticia 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. What are the smallest and the largest loans you make?
    No loan amounts are stated on their website.
  4. What is the APR, including fees, on your auto loans and energy-efficiency loans?
    Their website does not state an APR. The APR includes fees, so it is the number to compare.
  5. What interest rate and fees should I expect on your commercial real estate loans and equipment loans?
    Their website does not state a rate for this.
  6. Is there a minimum credit score, and do you consider borrowers with little or no credit history?
    Their website does not say what credit history they accept.
  7. 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.

CDFI Fund awards

These are awards and investments made to the institution itself to build its capital and capacity. They are not loans to borrowers, and an award does not mean the lender has money available for a particular loan today.

Size22nd largest of Puerto Rico's 91 cooperativas de ahorro y crédito by total assets

Puerto Rico's cooperativas de ahorro y crédito are supervised and insured by COSSEC, the island's public corporation for cooperatives, not by the NCUA, so they do not appear in federal credit-union data. These figures come from the quarterly report each cooperativa files with COSSEC. Source: COSSEC, Estadísticas Industria Cooperativas de Ahorro y Crédito for the quarter ending 30 Jun 2026 (year-ago figures: quarter ending 30 Jun 2025), downloaded 7 Nov 2026. Size and members show scale, not what it would lend you.

Average rates across Puerto Rico's cooperativas

On loans already on their books on 30 Jun 2026, weighted by balance, across all 91 cooperativas: new-vehicle loans 6.20%, used-vehicle loans 9.74%, business loans to members 7.55%, loans to small and mid-size businesses 7.95%.

These are island-wide averages of existing loans. They are not an APR, not an offer and not this cooperativa's own rates. Ask the cooperativa for the APR it would charge you.

Cooperativa de Ahorro y Credito Aibonitena may also make loans outside SBA programs, which are not counted here, and SBA Microloans are not in these files. For 504 projects, the CDC amount is the SBA-backed portion and the third-party lender amount is that lender's own first-lien loan.
