A term loan is money borrowed that is repaid in regular payments over a set period of time. USC Credit Union can help you reach your personal or business goals with one of our many term loan products.
Trojan Advance Loan
Unexpected expenses and cash emergencies can happen to anyone. But you don’t have to end up trapped in a cycle of debt or pay outrageously high-rates and fees to high-rate lenders.

Personal Loan
A personal loan can be used for anything you choose. Ideal for non-homeowners or those who prefer not to borrow against their homes, unsecured personal loans can be set for a fixed-term (so your payments are always the same) or for an open-ended amount (up to an approved limit) and can help finance big purchases, make home improvements, and even consolidate high rate debt into one easy monthly payment.

Deposit-Secured Loans
Two convenient ways to use your own money for your borrowing needs are with a Share-Secured Loan and a Certificate-Secured Loan. By using funds that are currently on deposit, you maximize use of your money while still maintaining a savings balance. Better yet, you’ll continue to earn dividends on your savings balance in a Gold or Trojan account. When you repay your loan, you’ll still have your savings!
Share-Secured Loan
Use your funds on deposit at USC Credit Union as collateral for a low-cost loan. The amount you pledge will be frozen and released as you make payments.

Certificate-Secured Loan
Borrow funds by using your USC Credit Union Certificate of Deposit (CD) as collateral. Loan repayment begins soon after the loan has been borrowed and must be paid by the end of the maturity date.

Line of Credit
A line of credit can serve a handy emergency fund or a way to pay for something that is out of your financial reach. Apply only once and when you need additional funds, you simply take an advance by check, phone or online. Unlike a typical loan, you make payments only on the credit you’ve actually used.
Personal Line of Credit
Tackling a large home improvement project or dealing with a potentially unpredictable expense? A Personal Line of Credit could be the perfect solution for you. Get instant, ongoing funds for your goals and only pay interest on the money you borrow, making it a great funding option for whatever life throws your way.
