Personal loans from credit unions are commonly used for debt consolidation, home improvements, medical bills, or major purchases. Unlike auto loans, they're unsecured — no collateral required — which is why rates are slightly higher than car loans.
Yes. If you have credit card balances at 20–25% APR, replacing them with a credit union personal loan at a lower rate can save hundreds or thousands in interest. The key is to not run up the cards again after paying them off.
These rates come from NCUA Call Report (5300) filings — quarterly financial reports that all federally insured credit unions must submit. They reflect each CU's weighted-average rate on outstanding unsecured personal loans, not a minimum advertised rate.
A $10,000 balance at 24% APR paying $250/month costs ~$2,800 in interest. At 12% APR, the same payment saves over $1,500. Run the numbers before committing.
Many credit unions offer loans secured by your own savings at very low rates — useful for building or rebuilding credit history. Ask specifically if you're in credit-building mode.
