Lines Of Credit

​A personal line of credit can be used for rainy day emergencies or when you want some extra cash, perhaps for a vacation, special purchase or home renovation. It's also a great way to consolidate higher interest debts (like credit cards) into a single lower monthly payment. Your line of credit has a low variable rate and you can make a full or partial repayment any time without a penalty. You'll save money in interest monthly. And any amount you pay back immediately becomes available for you to use again.

​The amount of credit you can get approved for is based on your full financial picture, including your collateral security, income, credit history and personal net worth. Unsecured lines of credit don't require collateral; for larger amounts, many use the equity in their homes or other real estate holdings as collateral for secured LOCs.

​​Why not apply for a line of credit (LOC) to help you through those unplanned expenses? Interest rates are linked to Summerland Credit Union’s prime rate and are typically lower than bank and retail credit card rates. There is no monthly fee to use your line of credit and you pay interest only on the amount you borrow. Your line of credit is linked directly to your chequing account for easiest access.
