One
of the basic functions of the credit union is the provision
of loans to our members from the savings pool which fellow
members have created.
Freedom
Federal Credit Union has developed a loan program that is generally
more diverse and flexible than those offered by other financial
institutions. Credit union loan finance charges are computed
using the "simple interest" principle - that is, finance charges
are assessed on the unpaid balance of a loan for the number
of days that balance is outstanding. Loan payments may be made
conveniently via automatic transfers from an existing deposit
account and there is no penalty for prepayment of a loan.
When
reviewing a loan request, the credit union utilizes the "4
C's" of credit granting to determine an applicant's credit
worthiness.
The "4
C's" considerations are:
-
the
character of the applicant,
-
the
credit history of the applicant,
-
the
capacity of the applicant to repay the money loaned and
-
the
conditions under which the loan is requested - both economic
and applicant related conditions.
Adherence to the "4
C's" of credit granting ensures that the credit union will
grant good quality loans while protecting the member deposits
with which loans are funded.
Listed
below are several of the major categories of loan types offered
by the credit union. Click on any one of them for more information.
