FAQs
A line of credit gives you access to a pre-approved amount of money that you can borrow from as needed. Unlike a traditional loan where you receive a lump sum upfront, you only borrow what you need, when you need it. You’ll only pay interest on the amount you actually use, and as you pay it back, that credit becomes available to use again.
With a personal loan, you receive the full loan amount upfront and make fixed monthly payments until it’s paid off. A line of credit works more like a credit card – you have a credit limit and can borrow up to that amount as needed. You only pay interest on what you actually borrow, and you can pay it back and borrow again as many times as you need.
Absolutely! One of the great benefits of our line of credit is that it can be linked to your checking account for overdraft protection. This means if you accidentally overspend, your line of credit can cover the difference instead of incurring expensive overdraft fees.
You can access your line of credit funds 24/7 through our online banking platform, mobile app, or by visiting any of our branch locations. It’s designed to be there when you need it, making it simple to get funds quickly and conveniently.
Nothing! There are no annual fees or penalties for not using your line of credit. Think of it as your financial safety net – it’s there when you need it, and there’s no cost to keep it available. You only pay interest on amounts you actually borrow.
You can set up automatic payments through our online banking system, make payments through our mobile app, visit a branch, or mail in your payment. We recommend setting up automatic payments to ensure you never miss a payment and to help build your credit history.
Yes! When you use your line of credit responsibly and make payments on time, it can help build and improve your credit score. Having available credit that you don’t fully utilize also helps improve your credit utilization ratio, which is a key factor in your credit score.
While membership is required to finalize a line of credit, you can start the application process before joining. We’ll guide you through becoming a member if your credit line is approved.
