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.

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 is the largest loan you make?
   Their website gives a minimum ($250) but no maximum.
4. What is the APR, including fees, on your small-dollar emergency loans and immigration loans?
   Their website does not state an APR. The APR includes fees, so it is the number to compare.
5. What interest rate and fees should I expect on your small-business loans?
   Their website does not state a rate for this.
6. 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.
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.

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.

The SBA's public loan data lists 1 SBA-backed approval for Vantage West Credit Union in fiscal years 2020–2026 (October 2019 to September 2026):

• 1 504 projects as the third-party (first-lien) lender

How this lender was matched in the SBA files: 504 third-party lender name: same name, state and city (SBA lists “Vantage West 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. Vantage West 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.
