LOANS
At the ASCU we have a variety of loans accessible to our members at excellent rates.
Share-secured (Personal) Loans
These loans are secured by the member's shareholding in the credit union.

Character (Regular) Loans
These loans would normally be repaid within periods ranging from six (6) months to forty-eight months (48) months. Generally, the Credit Committee may approve loans in excess of shares for up to one and one-half the amount of the member's shareholdings Loans up to twice the amount of the member's shareholdings may be granted at the discretion of the Credit Committee.

These loans must be fully secured for the amount of the loan and are repayable over periods ranging from six (6) months to twelve (12) months.
The member may elect to make regular repayments of principal and interest during the loan repayment period or alternatively, make payments of interest only during the period and a lump sum payment of the principal at the end of the period.

New Life Saver Loans
The New Life Saver Loan is a discounted loan (i.e., you are required to pay in advance the interest amount based on the loan value). This loan allows you the flexibility to select the amount and payment period that is most suited to your needs. The interest charge varies based on the amount you borrow. The Plan operates as a type of revolving loan. You may apply for a loan “top-up” within the same range or to a higher range prior to the initial loan being repaid. In such an instance you must pay the interest for the new loan amount in advance. Interest is paid on the “top-up” amount based on the Interest Charges band within which the total new loan falls. Requests for “top-ups” are granted in increments of $500.00. The amount of the New Life Saver Loan will be added to the existing Special Loan balance. The New Life Saver Loan will replace the existing Life Saver, Christmas Helper and Education Loans.
