Loans, Loans, Loans!

New or Used Vehicles

Whether you are buying a new or used vehicle, CUVT offers a low rate! Did you obtain a loan from a dealer or other financial institution? No problem! We can help you to transfer the balance to the credit union. We are experts at vehicle loan balance transfers and make it easy to have your loan where you want it—at your credit union!

New or used programs are available for cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, campers, aircraft, RVs, ATVs, personal watercraft, snowmobiles, tractors and more.

We now offer GAP Protection—only $299 for most vehicles and better than the dealer. If your vehicle is totaled, your auto insurance will only pay the vehicle’s current value, and since vehicles can depreciate rapidly, you may still owe more on your vehicle loan than you receive. That’s your “gap”, and our Guaranteed Asset Protection insurance covers the gap, covers up to $1,000 of your insurance deductible, and even gives you a further $1,000 toward your replacement vehicle financed through the credit union. Click here for details.

Refinance with a Fixed Rate Home Equity Mortgage

We are pleased to offer Home Equity Mortgages with a low fixed rate, terms up to twenty years, no closing costs, and automatic repayment options that can save you money. Generally completed within two weeks! Also consider a flexible Home Equity Line of Credit.

Renewable Energy Financing

Finance your renewable energy or energy efficiency project with our home equity loans, then use your renewable energy tax credit to lower your monthly payment.

VISA Classic

A true value featuring a generous line of credit, and a low FIXED RATE of 10.90% for both purchases and cash advances. No Annual Fee! No Cash Advance Fees! (Card security features.)

Bonus: Balance transfers have a rate of only 6.99% for the life of the balance transferred!

Please Note: Lines of credit of up to $5,000 are available with VISA classic. It is our belief that this is a sufficient level of credit for most persons. In our experience, the most common cause of financial difficulty is excessive credit card debt. At CUVT we don’t want to be part of your problems, we want to be part of your solution!

Many other types of loans are available. We want your business!
