Lifestyle Loans (previously known as Signature Loans)

Every member has a unique lifestyle and we understand that sometimes there are extra expenses. We make the process easy so you don't have to turn to high-interest credit cards or payday loans. Lifestyle Loans are designed to fit your need, whether it's for an unexpected life event or something more, well... unique.

Use a Lifestyle Loan for:

Vacations
Debt Consolidation
Taxes
Home Improvements
Weddings/Honeymoons

Cosmetic Procedures
Cosmetic Dentistry
Vision Correction Procedures
Fertility Treatments
Adoption Costs

Auto Repairs
Computer Purchase
Veterinarian Expenses
Musical Instruments
Holiday Expenses


Why a Lifestyle Loan instead of a credit card or payday loan?

Credit card companies often encourage small monthly payments, which keeps balances high and interest charges rising. In some cases making the minimum payments of 2-3% of the balance could take 7-10 years or more (and a whole lot of interest) to pay off the debt! Many consumers find it difficult to ever get out of the debt cycle. Lifestyle loans are a better choice for many people because the low, fixed payments are designed to help you use credit wisely and get it paid off in a reasonable amount of time.

  • Loan amounts from $250 to $15,000
  • Terms up to 60 months
  • No collateral required
  • Fixed, affordable payments

Credit Builder Loans

We often hear the question, "how can I get credit if no one will give me credit?". That's where the Credit Builder Loan comes in. Whether you're trying to build first-time credit or are working to repair or improve your credit, this loan is designed for you. We simply lend you a certain amount of money which we lock into a special savings account for a minimum of one year. After you’ve made all your payments and fulfilled the loan, we will release the funds to you. Not only have you built up your credit file with proven timely payments, but you also have the funds available for a down payment on the home or car you want! It's really that simple. Regardless of what your credit looks like right now, we want to help you get where you want to be.

  • Loan amounts up to $5,000
  • Terms up to 48 months, depending on loan amount

If you're new to credit, check out these helpful credit tips or just ask us! We're happy to help.
