Auto Refinance Loan
Do you have a car loan now, with another lender, credit union or bank? Rates have decreased over the past few months, and markedly so over the past year or two. It may be financially advantageous for you to move your loan to Education First Credit Union. Please let us review and compare the terms of your current car loan to see if we can save you money. We may be able to lower your monthly payment, reduce your term, or your overall interest expense. It will only take a few minutes, and you might be surprised at how well this can work for you. We can do the same thing for any loan you have elsewhere. Let us compare and see if this makes good sense for you.
Remember, we have your financial best interests in mind. If a refinance improves your situation and can save you money to transfer your loan to us, we will show you in dollars and cents.
It’s a fast, simple and easy process. Why wait, when we can start right now?

Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit
Your home is one of, if not your largest asset. You have worked very hard to get it, keep it, and make it into the haven that you deserve. Many people tap into the equity in their home to pay for other needs. The most common are for home improvements, to pay for a car, or college tuition, a wedding, medical expenses, and such.
These rates have remained low, so this type of loan is frequently the best option for any homeowner with a borrowing need. This loan doesn’t take long to close, and you have two options based on your needs and preferences. You can choose a fixed rate or a variable rate, and you can also choose a closed end or open end loan. We will explain the differences very clearly and help you pick the one that works best for you, and your individual needs.

You say you want to borrow $30,000 for a room addition. It may be best for you to set this up on a fixed rate for 5 years or 10 years. You will have a flat recurring payment for a set period of time. This makes it easy to budget and manage your money.
