Personal Loans To Suit Your Needs

Personal loans can be used for many different reasons. With a personal loan you get the money you need in one lump sum and enjoy the convenience of a fixed monthly payment at a low rate. And because personal loans are unsecured, you don’t need to provide upfront collateral.

Why Finance With TEG FCU

When you think about your financial goals, chances are they involve some fairly big purchases, such as a house or a car.

Before you can start comparing mortgage and auto loan rates, you’ll need to have a credit history with a score that makes you eligible for low rates. 

You may ask, “How am I supposed to build a good credit history, if I can’t get a loan?” At TEG, we want to help you get started with your first loan.

TEG First Time Borrower Loans don’t require cosigners and can be used for just about anything. Applicants can be approved in just a short period of time when they meet the following qualifications:

  • No credit history on their credit report
  • A debt-to-income ratio (DTI) of 35% or less (includes house expenses)
  • At least 6 months of consistent income (proof required)
  • References (required)
