  • Once I'm a member, are there any requirements to maintain membership?

    Yes! However, you will need to provide documentation of your prior employment (pay stub, IPERS statement, etc.).

  • I was once a member; however, I have since closed my account. May I rejoin?

    Yes! However, members can close their accounts only once to remain eligible for future membership.

You've seen all the low rates the auto dealers have been offering if you finance your new vehicle with them, but is this the best deal for you?

If you were to take the rebate, apply it to the cost of the vehicle and borrow the rest of the money from us, chances are your payment would be lower and you would save interest as well.

Fill out the form below using the cost of the vehicle, the total rebate, the dealer's interest rate, Credit Union's interest rate, and the length of the loan. Estimated payments will be calcualted, depending on where you borrow the money.
