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 Membership eligibility requirements apply. source
  • Collateral required Approval subject to application, eligibility, credit, and acceptable property, acceptable appraisal and title required. 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. 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. 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.
  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.
