Rates and terms they state

LoanStatedText on the lender's site (verbatim)Page
Credit-builder loansRate: 10% APR10.00% APR*source
Personal / consumer loansTerm: see their wordingTerms up to 72 monthssource

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

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 repair 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. Do you offer free coaching or help preparing my application?
    CDFI certification requires development services, such as training or advice, alongside lending.
  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

2011CDFI Program, Financial Assistance$750,000

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.
