Rates and terms they state

Auto / vehicle loansRate: from 5.6% APRRates for older models available from 5.60% APRsource

Home mortgagesRate stated, not as an APR: see their wordingCurrent rates range from 6.75% to 7.75% as of 1/21/2026 based on loan amount and lien position.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

  • Collateral required A HELOC is a revolving line of credit secured by the equity in your home. 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. 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 personal loans?
    Their website does not state an APR. The APR includes fees, so it is the number to compare.
  4. What interest rate and fees should I expect on your SBA-backed loans?
    Their website does not state a rate for this.
  5. 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.
  6. How long can I take to repay?
    No repayment terms are stated on their website.
  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.

Balances are loans outstanding on the report date, not loans made during the year, and they include loans the bank bought. Shares are of gross loans and leases. The change over the year includes loans gained through mergers or bought from others. A category with no balance does not mean the bank never makes that kind of loan; ask the bank.
