Auto Loans
Transtar FCU Auto Loans can be used to purchase a new or used vehicle.
When purchasing a new vehicle, TFCU will finance 100% of the purchase price, plus tax, title and license. A copy of the dealer's purchase order or invoice is required
On a used vehicle purchase, the credit union will loan up to 100% of the retail value quoted in the NADA used car guide, plus tax, title and license
If a member owns a vehicle free and clear of any liens, they can use the title as collateral to secure a new loan. This is a great way to get a loan for those personal needs at a lower rate than an unsecured loan
There is no prepayment penalty if a member wants to pay off the loan early

Line of Credit
Establish a line of credit loan with Transtar FCU and have it available to meet your cash flow needs. A Line of Credit can be used to consolidate debt, take a vacation, buy new furniture, educational needs, or just for extra spending money. To access an established line of credit, simply request a draw from a Transtar FCU teller, or from TAPS (Transtar Automated Phone System) and have your money immediately. You can even transfer money from the Line of Credit into any of your checking, savings or loan accounts via our e-branch. It is that simple.
If you do not have sufficient funds to cover an outstanding check, VISA® Check Card transaction or ATM withdrawal, a Line of Credit can automatically provide the needed funds to cover the draft. The amount needed to cover the transaction will be deducted from your choice of either your savings account or a Line of Credit loan. You may designate both if you wish, giving priority to one account.
Shared Secured
Need to make a purchase but do not want to deplete your savings? This loan allows a member to borrow up to 100% of the savings account balance at TFCU at a very low rate. As the loan is paid down, an equal amount will become available.
A member can elect to have a single payment secured loan. This loan can be made for any amount up to 90% of the available balance in the account with a maximum term of 12 months. At the end of 12 months, you can pay the loan off, or pay the accrued interest and renew the loan for an additional 12 months.
Certificate Secured
A Certificate Secured Loan is 100% secured by the borrower's certificate with Transtar FCU. The rate is the certificate's rate plus 3% with a maximum term of 60 months or term of certificate, whichever is less.
You can also choose to have this loan set up as a single payment loan which qualifies you to borrow up to 90% of the value of the certificate. The maximum term is 12 months or the term of certificate, whichever is shorter.

The money can be borrowed up to a five year period (depending on the amount) to make the payments affordable to you. There is no prepayment penalty to pay off the loan early.
