Offering Loan Options at Competitive Rates
Loans
Providing you with low-cost loan options is just the way we serve you better. Whatever your borrowing needs, you will find our rates and terms very competitive and there is never a prepayment penalty for early payoff.
Interest on all loans is calculated using the simple interest method. By using this method you are only charged interest on the loan for the exact length of time you have the loan.
Refinance
If you have loans at other financial institutions such as car loans, motorcycle loans, or signature loans, maybe we can help! If you qualify for a rate that's lower than your current loan somewhere else, we'd be happy to refinance that loan and save you on interest. We also rate match! Remember, you can save even more if you do direct deposit!
