What is a Personal Line of Credit?
A personal line of credit is a flexible loan that gives you access to funds up to a certain limit. Unlike a traditional loan where you receive a lump sum, a line of credit allows you to borrow what you need, when you need it—and only pay interest on what you use.
Key Benefits of a Personal Line of Credit
- Quick Access to Funds: Once approved, you can draw from your line of credit at any time without needing to reapply. It’s a ready-to-use safety net for life’s unexpected expenses.
- Peace of Mind in Your Pocket: Knowing you have a financial backup in place helps reduce stress during emergencies or short-term cash needs.
- Only Pay for What You Use: Interest is only charged on the amount you borrow, not your full credit limit, making it a cost-effective way to access funds.
- Low, Competitive Rates: RTFCU offers a competitive 7.90% APR*, helping you save on interest compared to high-rate credit cards.
- Automatic Overdraft Protection: A personal line of credit can be linked to your RTFCU checking account, offering added protection from overdraft fees.
