How A Line of Credit Works
A personal line of credit functions similarly to a financial safety net:
- You receive an approved credit limit.
- Funds are available whenever needed.
- As you repay what you borrow, those funds become available again.
This revolving structure gives you convenience, flexibility, and peace of mind.
Common Uses
Members often use a personal line of credit for:
- Unexpected or emergency expenses
- Home repairs or maintenance
- Auto repairs
- Managing short-term cash flow
- Building an extra financial cushion
- Overdraft protection to avoid fees
Key Benefits
-
Flexible Access
Use funds at any time without reapplying. -
Borrow Only What You Need
Draw funds as needed instead of taking a full loan upfront. -
Interest Charged Only on Funds Used
You pay interest only on the amount borrowed — not your entire credit limit.
Application & Review Information
- A standard credit check is required as part of the application process.
- Personal lines of credit are unsecured revolving loans.
- Accounts are subject to periodic review in accordance with credit union lending policies.
- Continued availability of the line is based on account performance and creditworthiness.
