IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR!
SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!
Are you thinking about a new home or vehicle purchase?
Interest Rates are low and we are here to help!
Municipal Credit Union, in our partnership with Consumer
Loan Services is now offering a “mortgage checkup” or a
“mortgage preparation plan”. This will help our members to
be in an optimal position to either refinance or purchase a
home in the future. CLS will discuss with you “where you are
now” and what you may “need to do” to put yourself in a
position to obtain the best interest rate and terms for your
mortgage loan and the steps you should take to ensure this success. Call us or go
online to apply today.
Are you interested in paying off your mortgage early?
If you want to pay your mortgage off early, you might
investigate Municipal Credit Unions bi-weekly mortgage
payment program. By paying half of your monthly mortgage
loan payment amount every two weeks, you end up making
two extra half-payments every year. In addition, you save
interest when you make bi-weekly payments. Bi-weekly
mortgage payments are convenient because they make it easier to budget your
expenses and the payments coincide with your bi-weekly pay. Homeowners who
set up direct withdrawal from the credit union find that their mortgage payments get
paid without much effort and because they are never late on a mortgage payment
and it increases their credit score. By making bi-weekly payments you can pay-off a
twenty year loan in eighteen years.

interest rates on vehicles have never been lower! We offer great rates
