Borrowing

A loan is essentially a one-time, lump-sum payment with a structured repayment plan over a set amount of time, typically with a fixed interest rate, although rates can be variable. A line of credit allows you access to funds over time in the amount you need instead of a lump-sum payment.1

Home equity is the phrase that describes the difference between what you still owe on your mortgage and what your home is currently worth. It’s the amount of your home that you own.

We have a variety of lending options to fit your needs. From home and auto, to boats, RVs, and jet skis, we can provide financing to make your dreams come true. If you don’t have or don’t want to use collateral to secure your loan, don’t worry, we have you covered with our unsecured lending options.1

The answer depends on what your financial needs are. If you need one lump-sum payment with a consistent interest rate and repayments over a set amount of time, a loan may be the better option for you. A credit card allows you to borrow money as you need it and pay it back over a variable timeframe. Still unsure? Our First Quick Loan allows you to borrow what you need over a short period. It automatically transitions into fixed-rate with repayments over a 60-month period.1
