Finance Your Home Improvement Project with a UCU Home Renovation Loan

Looking to remodel your kitchen or update your bathroom? Do you need to replace a refrigerator or repair a leaky roof? Before you reach for your credit card to pay for your home improvement project, consider a UCU Home Renovation Loan instead.

When choosing a financing option for your project, cash is always best. But if you do not have enough savings to cover the cost, then a UCU Home Renovation Loan may be a smarter financing option than using your credit card.

Use a UCU Home Renovation Loan to finance any home improvement purchases you would make using your credit card.

Apply for a UCU Renovation Loan to help:

• Renovate your kitchen
• Update your bathroom
• Refresh your house with a new coat of paint
• Repair your roof
• Replace your dishwasher, refrigerator or stove
• Replace your windows
• Repave your driveway
• Any other home improvement project

UCU Home Renovation Loan Advantages

There are many advantages to financing your home improvement projects with a UCU Home Renovation Loan, including:

Lower Interest Rates

UCU Home Renovation Loans typically have lower interest rates than credit cards. If you plan to carry a credit card balance to pay for your purchase, then you will pay less in interest if you opt for a UCU Home Renovation Loan instead.

That could mean a lower overall cost to your home improvement project.

Pre-Approved Loans up to $30,000

UCU has made applying for a Home Renovation Loan quick and easy with no upfront application fees.

Just visit your local UCU Branch and provide some basic financial information, including proof of employment.  A UCU Loan Specialist will then conduct a credit check to determine your credit score. A better credit score means lower interest payments on your UCU Home Renovation Loan.

With pre-approved loans up to $30,000, you can borrow a lot more money for your home improvement project than you could with a credit card.

Fixed Monthly Payments

UCU Home Renovation Loans come with affordable monthly payment options that will suit your budget.

You will have up to five years to repay your loan, with your choice of weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly payment schedules.

You can even set up an automated payment plan from your UCU Chequing Account for a more convenient repayment solution.

Improved Credit Score

Running up your credit card with expensive purchases could hurt your credit rating. If you repeatedly use up your available credit on a single credit card, that could lower your credit score. You could be viewed by creditors as not using your credit responsibly.

Taking out a UCU Home Renovation Loan for your home improvement project could free up your available credit on your credit card and preserve, or even improve your credit score.

Personal Loan Insurance Premium Protection

You can purchase personal loan protection insurance for your UCU Home Renovation Loan. Life, disability and critical illness insurance can help protect you from an unforeseen event, by paying the outstanding balance of your loan in the event of illness or death, or by making your regular loan payments in the event of a disability. 

Conditions apply and the cost of the premiums will be added to your loan repayment schedule.
