As a member you can choose from a variety of loan programs to suit your needs.  No matter what type of loan you need, you'll find affordable financing plans to help fit your budget with no prepayment penalties. Check our Rates and Specials!

  • Vehicle and RV
    You may need to borrow funds to purchase new and used cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats and travel trailers.  Vehicle loans are usually secured by the value of the property purchased.
  • Signature Loans
    With a signature loan, you can borrow unsecured funds solely on the strength of your individual credit worthiness.

Individual credit means only one borrower is responsible for repaying this loan unless another person has agreed to guarantee or co-sign the loan.  Joint credit means more than one person (a borrower and co-borrower(s)) is responsible for repaying the loan.

Visa Credit Card
There is no annual fee on our Visa card and you have a 25-day, no-interest grace period after you make a purchase.  After the grace period, interest on your Visa account begins accumulating on the average daily balance of your account.  You can make payments on your Visa account balance by cash or check. 

  • No Cash Advance Fee

  • Over Limit Fee of $10

  • Minimum Payment - whichever is greater - 3 percent of new balance or $15
