Top Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be a credit union member for funds to disburse?2025-06-04T15:11:07+00:00

The borrower and co-applicant (if applicable) must be a member of the credit union. To expedite funding, visit your credit union branch or website to open your membership account while we are processing your loan.

Can I use funds to pay for books or off-campus housing?2024-10-31T19:30:04+00:00

Our private student loans can be used for any items listed in your school’s cost of attendance, or other education-related expenses. The amount you are eligible to borrow will be certified by your school, and the funds are sent directly to your college.

If some of the loan will be used to cover items not directly paid through the school, such as books, off campus rent, or a laptop, the school will issue you a refund for the excess amount.

How long will the process take?2024-10-31T19:31:23+00:00

Processing times vary based on time of year, document submission, and the school’s own certification process. In general, you can expect the process to take anywhere from 5-45 days, depending on the documentation available.

What items will I need to apply?2024-10-31T19:31:50+00:00

Information you’ll need to successfully complete the application:

  • Personal information (such as name, date of birth, Social Security number)
  • Sufficient income information for either the borrower or co-applicant (if applicable)
  • School enrollment information, if known
  • Amount needed for your current school term
  • If applying with a co-applicant, you’ll want to have them present. The co-applicant will also need to provide the same type of personal information as the student borrower. If they cannot be present, you should have their primary email address on hand – we’ll send them a notification to input their information.
