Loan Department
The Alpena Alcona Area Credit Union prides itself in providing low-cost loans with flexible terms to its membership. Members borrow from the Credit Union as an owner, which is a unique relationship when compared to other financial institutions. There is no waiting period between the time you open your account at the Credit Union and the time you apply for a loan. Our professional staff will process all applications quickly and confidentially. In many cases, a loan can be approved the same day. We can even process your loan by mail or telephone. There are no application fees and no processing fees (excluding mortgages and student loans).

Loans available are: new and used auto, boat, recreational vehicles, debt consolidation, home improvement, revolving, home equity, overdraft protection, automobile, mortgage, and many more. Also, available to our members are credit life and credit disability insurance and Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP).

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is insurance coverage that pays the difference between your primary insurer's settlement and the loan balance on items directly related to the purchase of the vehicle. GAP is low-cost coverage for a potentially high-cost expense. For just a few dollars a month, GAP can save you from making loan payments on a car, truck or other vehicle that's beyond repair, or stolen and not recovered. Ask a loan officer about GAP coverage for your next loan.

    Mortgage and Home Equity

    Alpena Alcona Area Credit Union has a professional and knowledgable lending staff waiting to assist you with your mortgage and home equity needs. We have some of the lowest closing costs around, and you will always find competitive rates and affordable terms. Alpena Alcona Area Credit Union services all mortgage loans directly, which means all your payments and questions will be handled at our office by people you've come to know and trust. Whether you would like to buy a new home, refinance your current mortgage, or build your dream home, start with Alpena Alcona Area Credit Union.

    Fixed Rate Mortgages

    If you would prefer a loan with an interest rate that never changes this would be the loan for you. The Credit Union offers fixed rate mortgage loans with up to a 30-year term. With a long term mortgage loan, you will find a lower monthly payment than with shorter term mortgage loans. This may be the friendliest loan for your monthly budget. The Credit Union also offers shorter term fixed rate mortgage loans, such as 15 and 20 year mortgage loans.

    Balloon Mortgage

    This mortgage program is for the buyer that may buy a home with plans to sell or payoff the loan within the next few years. The balloon mortgage is written for a 5 or 7 year term, but the monthly payment is based on a 30 year term. That means you pay a set payment each month, but at the end of the term the balloon payment must be paid in full. At that time, you can choose to re-write the loan for another balloon term at the current rate or with a maximum 3% cap, or you can rewrite into a fixed rate mortgage loan. Generally a balloon mortgage loan has a lower interest rate than a fixed rate mortgage.

    First Time Buyers

    The Credit Union may be able to help get you into your first home with a little or no down payment mortgage. The Credit Union offers mortgage loans with as little as 3 -5 % down, plus closing costs. The Credit Union also offers Rural Development loans. Please contact the Mortgage Department for further information at (989) 354-1515 or toll free 1 (800) 443-3577 ext. 1515.

    Construction Loans

    We can help you build that home you've been dreaming about. A construction loan from the Credit Union is quick and convenient. You apply and close only one time, and the funds for the construction project are deposited into your share account at the Credit Union. You will earn interest while your home is being built. To pay construction bills, simply bring in the invoices and we will disburse your funds. For additional details, please contact the Credit Union Mortgage Department.

    Vacant Land Loans

    Found that perfect spot to build your dream home? The Credit Union is able to offer loans for vacant land. Please contact the Mortgage Department for specific details at (989) 354-1515 or toll free 1 (800) 443-3577 ext. 1515.

    Home Equity Loans

    After being in your home for a period of time, you may have built up equity that you can use for any purpose, such as purchasing property, buying a second home, college education expenses, or debt consolidation. Our home equity program offers:

    • No application fee
    • Fixed rate loans
    • Variable rate line of credit
    • Easy application process
    • Affordable rates and terms
    • Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly payments

    Contact our equity department for further details at (989) 351-1515 or toll free 1 (800) 443-3577 ext. 1515.

    Payment Options
    On most mortgage and home equity loans, the Credit Union offers weekly, bi-weekly or monthly payment options. Remember the more often you pay on your mortgage loan the less interest you will pay over the life of the loan. Your payments can be automatically deducted from your account upon your request for any of the above payment methods.
