Excite Credit Union

What their website says about applying

• Complete your application online or over the phone at your earliest convenience. source
• Ensure that you have proof of income, W2 tax forms, an employment history, bank statements, and credit verification in order to apply for a fixed rate mortgage. source

Phone numbers and addresses are the ones on the lender's own site and the CDFI Fund list. CDFI Atlas does not take applications.

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.

• Low or damaged credit considered Subprime credit scores may not necessarily prevent you from getting a mortgage. source
• Membership required You must be a current member of Excite Credit Union to take advantage of the Excite Tuition Loan. source
• First-time homebuyer program First Time Home Buyer Program with Freddie Mac Home Possible® source
• Collateral required Secured by the funds in your share account. source

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

Read from 7 pages of the lender's website on 2 Nov 2026. Quotes are verbatim. Extracted with AI help from the pages listed below and checked automatically against them. Not reviewed by a person. Confidence: medium. Membership eligibility rules were not stated on the pages fetched, and the business loan page gives no clear product terms. Terms change — confirm with the lender before applying.

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. How do I become a member, and is there a fee or a minimum deposit?
   Credit unions lend only to their members.
2. What are the smallest and the largest loans you make?
   No loan amounts are stated on their website.
3. Do you offer free coaching or help preparing my application?
   CDFI certification requires development services, such as training or advice, alongside lending.
4. 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.

An office shows where the lender has a branch, not where it lends or whom it lends to. Credit unions serve members only; check who can join. For the ZIP-code search, credit-union offices are placed at the centre of their ZIP code (approximate).

Loan mix (balances on 30 Jun 2026)

Balances are loans outstanding on the report date, not loans made during the year. A category with no balance does not mean the credit union never makes that kind of loan. Credit unions lend to members only; check who can join.
