Co-signer Information
Get a Lower Rate!
If you do not meet our credit history, income and credit score requirements on your own, you may want to use a co-signer. A co-signer’s income and credit score can help strengthen your loan request, and may even lead to securing a lower rate. Rates are based in part on credit score, so if your co-signer has a better credit score we will use their score to establish the rate on your loan. And, after 36 consecutive on-time monthly payments, you will have the option to release the co-signer from your loan. You will still need to meet all other eligibility requirements.
Steps for Cosigners
I love banking with USCCU vs the Big Banks. Everything's much easier and they're much more personal vs big banks who make you feel like just a number. I've dealt with credit unions before but USCCU is truly one of a kind! Great service and better rates!

Variable Rate:
2.36% annual percentage rate (APR) effective 4/1/2017 – 6/30/2017. 60 monthly payments of $17.80 per $1,000 borrowed. Borrowing $20,000 at 2.36% accrues $1,224.75 in interest during the 5-year repayment term. These monthly payments and accrued interests are for illustration purposes only. If approved for a loan, the variable interest rate offered will depend on your credit history and the Credit Union’s underwriting standards. Variable rates from 2.36% APR to 6.11% (with AutoPay). Rate is variable and subject to change. Interest rates on variable rate loans are capped at 19.15%. Lowest variable rate of 2.36% APR assumes current 3-month LIBOR rate of 1.06% plus 1.55% margin and subtracting the 0.25% AutoPay discount. AutoPay is a voluntary repayment benefit managed by USC Credit Union that awards a 0.25% interest rate reduction to borrowers that elect to have their monthly payments electronically deducted from a designated checking account. The AutoPay benefit will discontinue and be lost for periods in which you do not pay by automatic deduction from a checking account. Ask a USC Credit Union representative for more details or how to enroll in AutoPay. For the USC Credit Union variable rate loan, the 3-month LIBOR index will adjust quarterly and the loan payment will be re-amortized and may change quarterly. APRs for variable rate loans may increase after origination if the LIBOR index increases. The above figures assume no changes in the LIBOR index, no pre-payments, no additions to the loan principal, and all payments made in a timely manner over the life of the loan. For further information on rates and costs for the Variable Rate Student Loan Refinance, see the Application Truth in Lending Disclosure.
Fixed Rate: 3.35% annual percentage rate (APR) effective 4/1/2017 - 6/30/2017. 60 monthly payments of $18.24 per $1,000 borrowed. Borrowing $20,000 at 3.35% accrues $1,748.73 in interest during the 5 year repayment term. These monthly payments and accrued interests are for illustration purposes only. Lowest fixed rate of 3.35% assumes enrollment in AutoPay. AutoPay is a voluntary repayment benefit managed by USC Credit Union that awards a 0.25% interest rate reduction to borrowers that elect to have their monthly payments electronically deducted from a designated checking account. The AutoPay benefit will discontinue and be lost for periods in which you do not pay by automatic deduction from a checking account.

If at any time automatic payments are stopped or the loan is not in good standing, the rate discount will not be applied.
