(1)APR = Annual Percentage Rate (OPEN TO READ FULL DISCLAIMER)

APR = Annual Percentage Rate (APR) represents the cost of credit over the loan term as an annualized rate.
All loan offers are subject to credit approval and program requirements.
Additional Rate Discount: Members may be eligible for an additional .25% rate discount with an established direct deposit to their MCU Everyday Hero Checking account. If your direct deposit is not established within 60 days of this loan, the Annual Percentage Rate will increase during the term of this transaction. If you discontinue direct deposit, your interest rate will increase by .25% and you will be required to make additional payments of the same amount until what you owe has been repaid. For example, if your loan was for $15,000 for 60 months at 6.25% and the rate increased to 6.50% after 24 months due to discontinuance of direct deposit, you would have to make 1 additional payment.
Rates & Terms: Rates, terms, and conditions are subject to change without notice. Additional restrictions and limitations may apply. Not all applicants will qualify for the lowest rate or longest term and may be offered credit at higher rates based on creditworthiness. Advertised rates assume excellent credit history and a 36-month term. For the most up-to-date rates, please visit our rates page.
Membership Requirements: MCU membership is subject to approval and requires opening and maintaining a savings (share) account. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens. Minimum Opening Deposit is $0.01, funded by MCU.
Additional restrictions may apply.

Personal Line of Credit (PLOC) Terms and Conditions: The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for the Personal Line of Credit (PLOC) is an open-end variable rate determined by the Prime Rate plus a margin. The APR will fluctuate with the Prime Rate (the index) as published in the Wall Street Journal. As of March 3, 2026, the variable unsecured personal line of credit APR provided by Municipal Credit Union (MCU) ranges from 11.75% to 17.25%, with the margin varying based on credit score. Account approval is subject to credit assessment. Lowest rates reserved for the most credit-worthy borrowers.

A 0.25% direct deposit discount is available only at the time of application. If the direct deposit is removed, then the discount is removed.

To apply for a Personal Line of Credit, you will be required to authorize MCU to conduct a credit check, which will appear as a hard inquiry and may impact your credit score. The line of credit may be reduced or further extensions limited under certain circumstances.

Approval requires new or existing MCU membership.

The Personal Line of Credit will be linked as an overdraft protection line for any MCU checking account. The overdraft items may not be paid and a NSF fee assessed if the Personal Line of Credit lacks sufficient available credit to pay the overdraft item and the transaction may be declined. There is no annual fee and no per transaction fees for overdraft protection and the standard APR will apply to any advances to cover paid overdraft items.

The Personal Line of Credit Agreement and Disclosure outline the terms and conditions, while the Truth-In-Savings Rates and Fee Schedule specify the applicable billing amounts for your MCU deposit accounts. You can obtain a copy of the disclosure by visiting a branch, going to https://www.nymcu.org/forms-and-disclosures, or calling 1-844-MCU-NYNY (1-844-628-6969).

MCU reserves the right to modify or discontinue products and benefits based on market conditions and borrower eligibility.

Life doesn’t wait in the city.

A personal line of credit gives you flexible access to funds when you need them - up to an approved credit limit.

Use a Personal Line of Credit to:

- Cover unexpected expenses
Handle surprise costs like car repairs, medical bills, or urgent home fixes without disrupting your budget.

- Manage cash flow between paychecks
Bridge short-term gaps and keep bills paid on time when timing is tight.

FAQs

Get Answers to Our Most Frequently Asked Questions.

What type of documentation do I need for a Personal Loan?

To apply for a personal loan at MCU you will need a few things.

  1. You will need to be an existing MCU member.
  2. You will need to submit a loan application—online, at your local branch, or by calling us at 1-844-MCU-NYNY (1-844-628-6969).
  3. You will need to provide proof of identity such as: Birth certificate, certificate of citizenship, driver’s license, military ID, passport, Social Security card, or state-issued ID.
  4. You will need to provide employer information and may need to provide income verification, such as: pay stubs, tax returns, W-2s and 1099s, bank statements, or employer contact information.
  5. You may also be required to provide additional documentation, but if that time comes, we will be sure to let you know.

What is the difference between a Personal Loan and Share Secured Loan?

The main difference is that a Share Secured Loan requires you to have funds on deposit that will be used as collateral for the loan at a lower interest rate compared to Personal Loans, which require no collateral.

How long does it take to get approved for a Personal Loan?

Personal Loan approvals can take as little as a few minutes. Once you apply, you can always check the status of your application online by visiting this link.

Can I get my payments taken out of my payroll?

Your payments can be automatically transferred from your MCU savings or checking account. Payroll deduction can be established to deposit directly to your savings or checking account.
