Smart Credit Solutions
Smart borrowing can help you accomplish your goals, build your credit history, and is often part of a good financial planning process. Whether you’re looking at remodeling or buying a new home, car or other big ticket item now is a good time to borrow. Interest rates are low and safe and secure banks, like First Financial, are still lending to clients.
Borrowing options that make sense
Auto loans. Traditional
auto loans are making a comeback. A traditional auto loan is a great
way to purchase a new or used vehicle, and it allows you to select the
payment terms that fit your budget.
Home Equity Loans. The equity you have in your home can be a powerful tool in managing your financial situation. A home equity loan usually offers convenience, the attraction of lower rates, and often, tax benefits.
First Financial Bank offers an Equity Lock option that provides the best of both worlds. It provides a fixed rate home equity loan and a line of credit all in one; so you can use a portion of the loan as you need it and lock in the remaining balance at a specific rate.
Mortgages. Current interest rates are still low, making this a good time to get a mortgage. First Financial continues to provide many options for clients including FHA, VA, variable and fixed rate loans.
Your personal banker can help
When considering a loan, it’s beneficial to meet with your personal banker
and ask the right questions to find out what’s available to you. Your
bank will look at your employment history, how you’ve managed your credit
in the past and what types of other expenses you currently have in order
to determine what you can afford.
As a responsible borrower, there are many things you need to consider before getting a loan, including: making sure your loan payments are sustainable and manageable over time, taking care of all necessities before purchasing luxury items, and making sure it fits in with your family’s overall financial plan.
