Rates and terms they state

Read 2 Nov 2026
LoanStatedText on the lender's site (verbatim)Page
Loans (general)Rate: from 8% APRas low as 8.00% APRsource
Auto / vehicle loansRate: from 5.15% APRNew Auto Loans as Low as 5.150% APR*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 You must be eligible for DC Credit Union membership to receive an auto loan. source
  • ITIN accepted Social Security card or ITIN documentation 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. 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.
  5. How long can I take to repay?
    No repayment terms are stated on their website.
  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.

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.

How it compares

Computed from public data
MeasureThis lenderCompared with
Total assets (Call Report, 30 Jun 2026)$88.9 millionLarger than 34% of the 284 other certified credit unions nationwide (median $182.7 million).
Loans as a share of assets65%Median of the same 284 credit unions: 70%. A higher share means more of its balance sheet is lent out.
Loans held, 30 Jun 2025 → 30 Jun 2026$59.1 million → $57.5 million (-3%)Median change of 282 other certified credit unions nationwide: +3%. Rank by loans held among these 283: 181 → 182.

Loans held then vs nowcertified credit unions nationwide reporting both dates282rank 181 → 182 of 283

“Larger than X%” = the share of the peer group with a smaller value. Ranks count from the largest. Peer groups use the lender's home state when it has at least 5 peers, otherwise the whole country. Full definitions: methodology.

Same loan type, nearby, lower stated rate

Certified CDFIs whose head office is within 50 miles of this one and whose own website states a starting rate at least 0.5 points lower for the same loan type. Consumer loans count only where both lenders state an APR. A starting rate is not an offer: ask each lender what you would pay, and check that it lends where you are (credit unions also require membership).

For comparison, not an offer and not a rating. Past records show what this lender did, not what you would be offered; your rate depends on the loan and on the lender's review. Peer groups and sources: methodology. Assets and loans: FFIEC and NCUA Call Reports (see the loan-mix section). Stated rates: each lender's own website, read on the date shown.
