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.
- How do I become a member, and is there a fee or a minimum deposit?
Credit unions lend only to their members. - What is the APR, including fees, on your auto loans and home mortgages?
Their website states a rate, but not as an APR. The APR includes fees, so it is the number to compare. - 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
CDFI Fund database, 3 Nov 2026$3.3 million in 3 awards from the U.S. Treasury's CDFI Fund, 2021–2022 (CDFI Equitable Recovery Program; CDFI Program, Financial Assistance; CDFI Program, Technical Assistance).
| Round year | Program | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | CDFI Equitable Recovery Program | $2,478,839 |
| 2022 | CDFI Program, Financial Assistance | $660,000 |
| 2021 | CDFI Program, Technical Assistance | $125,000 |
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.

How it compares
Computed from public data| Measure | This lender | Compared with |
|---|---|---|
| Largest loan its website states | $40,000 | Other credit unions whose website states a maximum: median $62,500. Higher than the stated maximum of 14% of these 64. |

| Loans as a share of assets | 60% | Median of the same 9 credit unions: 63%. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Largest stated loan | other credit unions stating a maximum, nationwide | 64 | higher than 14% |
| Call Report total assets | other certified credit unions in South Carolina | 9 | larger than 78% |

| HMDA home loans | certified CDFIs with 3+ originations in 2025, nationwide | 263 | more than 6% |
“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.
