Interest rates change regularly. Call or visit a branch to find the current rates for our loan products.

Several factors influence the interest rate we charge for a given loan:

• Type of collateral: The type and value of the collateral you put up for your loan can affect your interest rate.
• Credit score: Your current credit score will impact your rates – the higher your credit score, the lower the rate you’ll enjoy
• Debt/income ratio: This number, calculated by dividing your current debt by your income, will affect your credit score, with a lower debt/income ratio affording you a better interest rate
• Loan amount in relation to collateral value: More valuable collateral will generally yield a lower interest rate

If unforeseen circumstances have made it difficult or impossible to make a loan payment, please let us know. Our team is interested in your success, and we’ll work with you to help you avoid defaulting on your loan.

Essentially, secured loans require collateral. The most common example is an auto loan: when you take out an auto loan, that loan is “secured” by the vehicle you’re using to purchase it. If the loan goes into default, the lending institution will repossess the vehicle and sell it to recuperate its loss.

An unsecured loan requires no collateral. As a result, interest rates for unsecured loans are generally higher than those for secured loans, and the permitted loan terms are usually shorter.
