A personal loan allows you to borrow a lump sum of money at a low fixed rate and pay it back over a set term.

Perhaps you’re faced with an unexpected medical or tax bill, or you need to take a cross-country trip to help a family member. No matter the situation, a personal loan can help.

Here at Chevron Federal Credit Union, we work with you to find the best personal loan package to fit your needs. And we walk you through every step of the process — so while life events may be unexpected, your loan payments don’t have to be.

A personal line of credit is a revolving credit that you can access as you need it, instead of borrowing one lump sum.

A maximum limit will be set at the outset, and you can draw on those funds up to the maximum amount as expenses come up. This is a great option to have as an emergency fund for unexpected expenses. And with no collateral requirement, you don’t need to borrow against your home or your other assets. 

Loan payment example: $21.23 per month per $1,000 borrowed at 9.90%¹ APR² for 60 months

Good for:

• Those who need varying amounts of funds for different purposes at different times
• Those who know they will need quick access to a loan at a later time

Benefits: 

• You can take out small sums periodically, as opposed to one lump sum
• Credit limit of up to $25,000⁴
• Interest accrues only on what is used
• Monthly payments are based on the balance of your loan
• Loan issued based on creditworthiness, without the use of property or other assets as collateral⁵
