Loan Rates

Loans are made to members at rates lower than most banks and other financial institutions.

A loan from Petroleum Associates Federal Credit Union can add on an extra room, buy a car or a boat and just about anything that will help make life "just a little easier." Make it a habit to always check with your credit union first anytime you're thinking about a major purchase or establishing a line of credit. You'll find you come out ahead.

Any member 18 years of age or older may apply for a loan. Borrowing is easy and convenient. Our applications make applying quick and hassle-free. You receive prompt, courteous service with the lowest possible rates and most flexible terms available. Your loan will most likely be processed the same day.

Standard repayment procedure is payroll deduction, but a cash pay schedule is also available to members without access to deductions. Additional payments, or total payoff of a loan may be made at any time without any prepayment penalty. Interest is computed only on the unpaid balance.

Petroleum Associates Federal Credit Union calculates simple interest based on a 365 day year base.

Take the member's loan balance from last day of payment or day of new loan, multiply times number of days, multiply times interest rate (10% + .10), divide by 365 = current interest due.

Example: Member's last payment was 1/1/93, loan balance $5000.00, interest rate is 10%, today's date is 2/25/93.
$5000 x 56 days x .10 ÷ 365 = $76.71 interest due
