Rates and terms they state

Personal / consumer loansRate: from 9.99% APR*Maximum $10,000. No minimum required. Starting at 9.99% 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

  • ITIN accepted available to all our members, including ITIN (Tax ID) holders source
  • Low or damaged credit considered Damaged Credit? We Can Help! source
  • Membership required Membership eligibility 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. What is the APR, including fees, on your credit-builder loans and home mortgages?
    Their website does not state an APR. The APR includes fees, so it is the number to compare.
  4. How long can I take to repay?
    No repayment terms are stated on their website.
  5. Do you offer down-payment help, and is a homebuyer education course required?
    CDFI home loans often come with homebuyer education or down-payment help; their website does not say.
  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.

How it compares

Computed from public data
MeasureThis lenderCompared with
Total assets (Call Report, 30 Jun 2026)$44.2 millionLarger than 20% of the 284 other certified credit unions nationwide (median $182.7 million).
Loans as a share of assets85%Median of the same 284 credit unions: 69%. A higher share means more of its balance sheet is lent out.
Loans held, 30 Jun 2025 → 30 Jun 2026$36.6 million → $37.4 million (+2%)Median change of 282 other certified credit unions nationwide: +3%. Rank by loans held among these 283: 210 → 210.

Call Report total assetsother certified credit unions nationwide284larger than 20%
Loans held then vs nowcertified credit unions nationwide reporting both dates282rank 210 → 210 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).

  • Auto / vehicle loans (this lender states from 4.99%): New York University FCU from 3.75% (32 mi, read 2 Nov 2026)
  • Personal / consumer loans (this lender states from 9.99%): New York University FCU from 7.50% (32 mi, read 2 Nov 2026)

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.
