Did you find a better rate and/or term for your loan somewhere else? The credit union always tries to offer the best rates and terms but we know many institutions run "specials" or "deals" that are hard to beat.
Be sure to check with your credit union before signing on the dotted line! We can, in most cases, match the rate and term you are being offered elsewhere. You can keep your business at your credit union.
Receive lower interest rate with automatic loan payments.
If you are receiving a new loan at Lakeshore Federal Credit Union, you may be eligible for a lower rate. By having your monthly payment automatically deducted from your account, payroll deducted, or sent through ACH (Automated Clearing House), you can receive a .25% rate reduction on your loan.
Automatic payments are not only more convenient for you but now they can save you money too!

Loans are available to Lakeshore Federal Credit Union members when they pledge their shares or certificates of deposit as collateral. If you would rather borrow funds than withdraw them, try a pledged share loan. It's a great way to establish credit and receive a low-interest loan.
When you borrow dollar for dollar share secured, you only pay 2% over the rate you are receiving on your shares or certificate. If you use a certificate of deposit as collateral, the term of the loan cannot exceed the maturity date of that certificate.
Your shares will automatically be released as the loan balance declines. They are available for withdrawal whenever you need.
The credit union offers the following types of unsecured loans:
This type of loan offers members a fixed rate loan for up to 36 months at 12.25% APR. Your credit limit is set when you initially apply for the loan. You can add on to the loan as long as you remain within your signature limit. If you choose to have your loan payments automatically deducted, you are eligible to receive a .25% rate reduction.
By having an open-end line of credit loan, you can add on to your loan by writing a check, receiving cash or check at the credit union office, over the phone, at an ATM or online. You will receive a FREE order of checks when you open your loan. This type of loan offers members the most convenient way to borrow. Qualified applicants are able to borrow on their loan for 24 months before they need to update their application.
The interest rate for this type of loan is 10.90% APR and the payments are figured on the current balance. Your repayment is $3.00 for every $100 you have borrowed with a minimum of $30.00 per month.
If you have a checking account with Lakeshore Federal Credit Union, you should ask about getting overdraft protection. Whether you make a mistake in your check register or you just simply need to write a check and you don't have the funds in your account to cover it, your overdraft protection loan kicks in automatically. Your check is covered so you won't have to face the embarrassment of bouncing a check, pay any fees associated with a returned check or possibly have your name placed on a "bad check list".
Qualified members can borrow up to $1,000.00 against their overdraft protection at 18.00% APR with a low monthly payment of $30.00. You are able to payoff the balance at any time, with no penalty. Advances for your loan are available for 24 months before updating your application. Since the overdraft protection loan is like a line-of-credit loan, you can also add on to the loan over the phone, online, or at an ATM.
