Auto Loans

Your Federal Employees Credit Union offers new and used car loans. Our rates and terms are designed with you in mind. New cars can be financed without a down payment for as long as 5 years. Of course rates are lower for shorter loan periods and new cars purchased with a down payment or trade-in.

Used autos can be financed up to 5 years depending on the year of the vehicle. Other terms and conditions also depend on the year of the vehicle. Our loan officers have the flexibility to design a car loan that fits your budget and needs.

The best way to shop for a vehicle is with financing already approved. Our pre-approval loan program gives our members the upper hand when negotiating the purchase of a vehicle.

If you have been offered financing elsewhere, talk to our loan officers about meeting or beating the loan terms. Many times we can offer you a loan that will save you hundreds of dollars. All we ask is that you give us a chance!

Home Equity Loans

Your home is probably the most important asset that you own. We have 2 Home Equity Loan Programs to help you use that asset for your special needs. And you could possibly qualify for the tax advantages of this type of loan.

Fixed Rate Program
This program is a line of credit program that allows you to use the equity in your home at a low fixed rate of interest. The maximum repayment period is 7 years and the maximum draw period is 5 years. The maximum loan amount is $75,000 or 89% of the equity available in your home, whichever is less.  For current rates, click here

Variable Rate Program
This is our most popular loan program. It also is a line-of-credit program with a maximum loan amount of $75,000 or 89% of the equity available in your home. This loan has a maximum repayment period of 15 years with a 5-year draw period. The interest rate on this program is a variable rate with the initial rate depending on the percentage of the equity you use in your home. The rate can change quarterly, with a maximum increase or decrease of .50%. The rate is based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate published daily. So you can always know what the rate is on your loan.  For current rates, click here

Personal Loans can be granted at rates as low as 7.9% A7R. Rates are based on each member's credit history. In other words, the rate charged for Personal Loans is determined just for you! How much more personal can you get?

And the uses for Personal Loans are almost endless. Members have borrowed for medical & dental bills, school clothes, vacations, Christmas, purchase TV's or air conditioners, repaint the car, adoption expenses, eye glasses, stereos, etc. Do you have something we can help you with?

Share Secured Loans

Have you ever had the need for funds, but really didn't want to spend your savings? After all it can take a long time to build up your savings account balance to a level that makes you feel comfortable. Then use your savings as security for a loan instead of spending it. And at a rate that you won't believe. Give us a call to find out what we can do for you!

Give us a call with your need and let us try to help!

Credit Disability Insurance Protection

This insurance protects you in the event you become disabled by a covered sickness or accident. After the policy waiting period has passed, your loan payments will be made relieving you of financial security worries.

Credit Life Insurance Protection

This insurance protects your family in the event of your death. The insured balance of your loan will be paid so your family will not have to concern themselves with the covered debt.

Mechanical Breakdown Insurance

Provides insurance coverage on repairs of most car parts as well as labor. Available for new or used vehicles at the time of purchase.

Gap Insurance

Vehicle values decline rapidly. That’s why your insurance settlement, in the event of an accident, may not cover your entire loan balance. Unless, of course, you have Guaranteed Asset Protection Insurance  (GAP).

GAP is designed to eliminate your unpaid auto loan balance in the event your vehicle is stolen or damaged beyond repair (totaled). GAP supplements your primary auto insurance coverage.

For the one-time cost of $250.00, GAP covers the difference between the actual cash value of your car (primary insurance settlement) and your outstanding loan balance at the time of your loss, less certain deductions like credit insurance or service warranty contracts. In the event of a total loss, GAP will even pay an additional $1,000 toward the purchase of a replacement vehicle when financed at F.E.C.U.

GAP is designed for all drivers, whether you finance a new or used vehicle. It may even cover your insurance deductible – up to $1,000 – as part of your claim settlement. And, the cost of GAP can be financed with your loan. GAP keeps you in the driver’s seat!
