Savings Secured Loans
A Savings Secured Loan might be a good choice if you have funds in a savings account that can be used as collateral. Secured loans allow you to build your credit score with a personal loan on your own funds.
Certificate Secured Loans
With a Certificate Secured Loan, you can get the money you need, maintain your Certificate, and continue to earn dividends. It's a great way to avoid penalties for withdrawing Certificate funds before the maturity date.

Find Out Which Loan is Right For You
Borrow responsibly. We encourage students and families to start with savings, grants, scholarships, and federal student loans to pay for college. Students and families should evaluate all anticipated monthly loan payments, and how much the student expects to earn in the future, before considering a private student loan.
These loans are made by Sallie Mae Bank or a lender partner. American First Credit Union is not the creditor for these loans and is compensated by Sallie Mae for the referral of loan customers.

Borrowers must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents if the school is located outside of the United States. Non-U.S. citizen borrowers who reside in the U.S. are eligible with a creditworthy cosigner (who must be a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident) and are required to provide an unexpired government-issued photo ID to verify identity.
