FAQ

Are there any limits as to how I can use my Tight Spot Loan?

No! You can use a Tight Spot loan for any financial need, including home improvements, when you need a little extra cash to cover monthly expenses, school expenses, emergency car repairs or anything in between.

Are there any fees?

An application fee of $20 is charged for every Tight Spot application, whether or not the loan is approved.

The application fee is non-refundable. The fee is assessed after application and charged to the member's Checking or Savings account regardless of whether the loan is approved, denied or declined by the applicant. So, if you don't have regular deposits, don't apply until you set them up.

If your payment is 15 or more days late, there is a Late Payment Fee of 5% of the payment due.

What’s the maximum amount I can borrow?

The maximum amount available for a Tight Spot Loan is $2,000. The minimum amount is $500. The amount approved will vary based on the individual borrower's eligibility.

How is the loan approved?

When evaluating your application, a loan decision takes into consideration your membership, including factors such as payment history, and deposit activity. You must also be 18 years or older and the primary borrower to qualify.

How many Tight Spot loans can I have at a time?

Members are only allowed to have one (1) active Tight Spot loan at a time.

How will I receive the funds?

Upon approval, your funds, ranging from $500–$2000, will be deposited into your checking account within minutes for ease of access. If you don't have an active Checking account, funds will be deposited into your active Savings account. Only members with an active Checking or Savings account are eligible to apply.

How do my automatic payments work?

No need to worry about signing in to your account or calling your local branch to make a payment. Upon approval, you can choose to have automatic payments set up for you, giving you peace of mind that your payments will be on time.

When your loan is approved you will be prompted to select a due date and automatic monthly payment pre-authorization. Depending on the due date selected, the first payment date may be no more than 30 days from funding. The automatic payments will be taken out of the same account the loan amount was deposited into. If the loan payment is not made within the grace period (15 days), a late payment fee may be assessed.
