Greater Central Federal Credit Union is a member-owned cooperative that strives to provide its members with affordable and convenient financial services and products. It was formed in 1957 by a group of 9 teachers who contributed money to be used by any one of them in need of finances at affordable rates. To date, the credit union is committed to providing the best services and lending opportunities to its members. It is insured by the NCUSIF (National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund).
The credit union provides the following loans and financial services to its members:
- Secured Loans: These loans are provided against collateral with a value that is at least 20% more than the loans value. Detailed information about the loans is available on the credit union’s website. APR and the term of secured auto loans for new and used autos is provided. The APR rates for recreation vehicles (ATVs, motorcycles and RVs) are 2% higher than those of used autos. We also provide 72-month vehicle loans. If you want a share-secured loan (one that is backed by a share account), the rate will be 2% more than that of a secured account.
- Unsecured/Signature Loans: These loans are ideal for unexpected expenses or for projects like a vacation. We offer personal/unsecured loans at affordable rates and make quick approvals upon receiving a completed application and verifying income (loan approval within 24-48 hours). We offer payroll deduction, direct deposit and automatic transfer services for convenient loan payment.
- Credit Builder Loan: This loan is offered to help members improve their credit score. It works by freezing the amount of money in a share account until the borrower pays off the loan. As per their nature, these loans can be offered even if the credit score is not satisfactory. It is a good choice for anyone interested in getting a loan for the first time. The best part about these loans is that a borrower gets to build credit and also save in one go.
- Savings Accounts: We offer a range of accounts to provide banking convenience for our members. These include a share savings account, a checking account, a money market account, a Christmas Club, a Vacation Club, Certificates of Deposit, and an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). The requirements for opening a savings account are to be living, working, or worshipping west of I-35, 2 forms of ID, $5.00 for opening an account, and $20.00 to be kept in the account.
- Other Services Offered: We offer useful financial services such as an amortization calculator (on our website), skip-a payment options, debit cards, Outgoing ACHs, Incoming ACHs, Outgoing wires, Incoming wires, bill pay, gift cards and an audio response system for checking balances, making loan payments and checking cleared drafts.
