Purpose
• Large purchases (vehicles, home
improvement, etc.)

• Build credit
FCCB Loan Terms
• Installment – Loan amortizes over time and
payments are made on a regular basis
(monthly)
• Fixed Rates – Rate remains the same over life
of loan
– Set to compete with other local banks (not large
corporate banks; not credit unions)
Types
• Secured – Collateral is used to secure the loan
and can be repossessed in the event of default.
– Title
• Auto, RV, Boat, Motorcycle, Airplane, MH
– Cash
• Certificate of Deposit, Savings Accounts
• Unsecured – The loan is not collateralized,
making it more of a risk.
– Cannot borrow unsecured for the purpose of
consolidating debt
Title Loans
• Any title can be used as collateral as long as
we can put a value on it
• Loan amount determined by collateral value
• Term dependent on age of collateral
• Titled collateral must have full coverage
insurance
Cash Secured Loans
• Great for building credit
• Cannot be denied
• Low risk/Low interest rates
• Earn interest on the CD
• Loan amount dependent on collateral value
Unsecured Loans
• High interest rates
• Loan amount dependent on Annual Gross
Income (10%)
• Maximum term of 36 months
Advantages of Consumer Loans
• Unlike a credit card, you aren’t tempted to
continue spending.
• Fixed payment amount.
• Lower interest rates than most credit cards.
• Too many revolving lines can hurt your credit.
• Lower fees than real estate secured loans.
Disadvantages
• Outstanding debt; pay cash if possible.
• Interest payments are not tax deductible,
unlike that of a mortgage loan.
• Depending on collateral, rates can be higher
than other options (HELOC).
