USC Credit Union

What their website says about applying

• Discuss your options over the phone or at a branch. source
• Give us a call at 213-821-7100, source

Phone numbers and addresses are the ones on the lender's own site and the CDFI Fund list. CDFI Atlas does not take applications.

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.

• Membership required Must qualify for USCCU membership, and membership fee may apply source

Only rules the lender's own pages state. Other requirements may apply.

Read from 7 pages of the lender's website on 2 Nov 2026. Quotes are verbatim. Extracted with AI help from the pages listed below and checked automatically against them. Not reviewed by a person. Confidence: high. Home equity pages say California properties only, which conflicts with refinance text saying loans in all 50 states; service area left empty. Terms change — confirm with the lender before applying.

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. 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.
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.

Loan mix (balances on 30 Jun 2026)

Balances are loans outstanding on the report date, not loans made during the year. A category with no balance does not mean the credit union never makes that kind of loan. Credit unions lend to members only; check who can join.
