Rates and terms they state
Read 2 Nov 2026| Loan | Stated | Text on the lender's site (verbatim) | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loans (general) | Rate: 11.65%–16.25% APR | After that, a competitive 11.65% -16.25% variable APR* applies. | source |
| Small-business loans | Term: up to 5 yr | Our Unsecured Small Business Loan offers $5,000–$50,000 with a fixed 5-year term and competitive rates. | 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.

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.
- Do you lend where I live, or where my business is?
Their website does not say which area they serve. - How do I become a member, and is there a fee or a minimum deposit?
Credit unions lend only to their members. - What are the smallest and the largest loans you make?
No loan amounts are stated on their website. - Can I apply online, or do I need to call or visit?
We found no online application on their website. - Do you offer free coaching or help preparing my application?
CDFI certification requires development services, such as training or advice, alongside lending. - 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| Measure | This lender | Compared with |
|---|---|---|
| SBA approvals, FY2023–24 → FY2025–26 | 1 → 2 | Rank among the 19 certified CDFIs in Louisiana with SBA approvals in either period: 13 → 8. |

| Loans as a share of assets | 83% | Median of the same 20 credit unions: 75%. A higher share means more of its balance sheet is lent out. |

How these comparisons were worked out
| Measure | Peer group (this lender left out) | Peers | Where this lender sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBA approvals then vs now | certified CDFIs in Louisiana with SBA approvals FY2023–2026 | 18 | rank 13 → 8 of 19 |

“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.
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. SBA 7(a) & 504 FOIA data as of 30 Sep 2026. Assets and loans: FFIEC and NCUA Call Reports (see the loan-mix section). Home loans: FFIEC/CFPB HMDA data.
SBA loans approved
SBA data as of 30 Sep 2026The SBA's public loan data lists 4 SBA-backed approvals for OnPath Federal Credit Union in fiscal years 2020–2026 (October 2019 to September 2026):
- 4 504 projects as the third-party (first-lien) lender: $3.9M in total (its own third-party loan amount), median $857,500
By fiscal year: FY2020 0 · FY2021 0 · FY2022 1 · FY2023 0 · FY2024 1 · FY2025 1 · FY2026 1.
By program
- 504 projects (as the third-party lender) (4, 100%)
How this lender was matched in the SBA files: 504 third-party lender name: same name, state and city (SBA lists “OnPath Federal Credit Union”).
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. OnPath Federal 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.
