Share-Secured and
Certificate-Secured Loans

At D.C. Teachers Federal Credit Union, you can use your accumulated savings or share certificates as collateral for a loan. The interest rates for share- and certificate-secured loans are the lowest ones we have available. And you continue to earn dividends on your savings during the term of the loan. Best of all, when your loan is paid off, your savings are still there.

The rate for a certificate-secured loan will be 2% above your certificate's rate. Call the credit union for the current share-secured loan rates.

To apply for a Share- or Certificate-Secured loan, print out the application, complete it and return it to the credit union in person, by fax or by mail with your two most recent paystubs as proof of income. Be sure to check "Share- or Certificate- Secured" as Type of Loan.
