Rates and terms they state

Read 2 Nov 2026
LoanStatedText on the lender's site (verbatim)Page
Auto / vehicle loansRate stated, not as an APR: see their wordingAs low as 6.39%source
Personal / consumer loansRate stated, not as an APR: see their wordingAs low as 9.24%source
Personal / consumer loansRate stated, not as an APR: see their wordingAs low as 11.00%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

  • Low or damaged credit considered Having imperfect credit doesn't necessarily mean a car loan is out of reach. source
  • Collateral flexible or not always required No collateral is required, so approval is based on creditworthiness rather than your home or vehicle. source
  • First-time homebuyer program We offer programs designed to help first-time buyers with low down payment options and flexible qualifying guidelines 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 home mortgages?
    Their website states a rate, but not as an APR. The APR includes fees, so it is the number to compare.
  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.

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.

How this lender was matched in the SBA files: 504 third-party lender name: same name, state and city (SBA lists “Harborstone CU”, “Harborstone Credit Union”); NCUA charter 66399, found through the RSSD ID in NCUA records (SBA lists “Harborstone CU”).

Approved is not the same as paid out: an approved loan can be reduced or never drawn. SBA lists the lender each loan is currently assigned to, which can differ after a merger or loan sale. Harborstone Credit Union 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.
