Top loans FAQs

All UNFCU loans are in US dollars (USD).

Unsecured loans are not backed by collateral. This means there is no asset for the lender to claim if the borrower is unable to pay back the loan. Our unsecured personal loan is an example of an unsecured loan.

A secured loan requires an asset as collateral. For example, a mortgage is a secured loan. The home being purchased is used as collateral to secure the mortgage. In the event the home buyer is unable to repay the mortgage, the lender can claim the property.

For unsecured loans and secured auto loans, the term of your loan is one of several factors that determine the rate. The term of the loan does not impact the rate for a secured with deposit loan. For lines of credit, including credit cards, term is not applicable. 

You can select your term as part of the application process. Loans with shorter terms usually have lower interest costs but higher monthly payments than loans with longer terms. Term options range from six to 180 months, depending on the loan. The loan officer who reviews your application may contact you to discuss a different term than the one you selected. This will be based on our assessment of how much you can afford to pay each month.

Please contact us as soon as possible to inform us of your future plans. If you receive a final entitlement, we may apply the full amount or a portion of it to cover the amount you owe. We will discuss your options with you.

We offer Credit Disability Debt Protection. If you become disabled and lose your income, you can continue making your UNFCU loan and credit card payments. 

To receive this protection, the primary borrower must enroll for it. A fee of $0.15 per $100 will then be added to the outstanding loan balance. For example, if at the end of the month your loan balance is $5,000, a $7.50 fee will be added. 

The application is quick and a physical exam is not required. Call or visit us in person to enroll.
