Holiday Loans

Holiday Loans have long been popular with Adventure Credit Union members, and for good reason! 

Let's face it, the holiday season can be expensive.  Our Holiday Loans are designed to help you enjoy the holiday season in Grand Rapids or Lansing, Michigan without any financial stress.  Here's how we do it:

• Allow you to borrow up to $2,500 now
• Require no payments from you for the first 90-days
• Offer interest rates significantly lower than most credit cards; as low as 9.99% APR*
• Make repayment easy with a 12-month term

Holiday Loans have a few key benefits over a credit card:

• Lower interest rates: Adventure Credit Union's Holiday Loan rates start as low as 9.99% APR*.  Compare that to the national average credit card rate at 21.07% APR* (source: creditcards.com)
• More flexibility: the proceeds from your Holiday Loan will be deposited to your Adventure Credit Union checking or savings account.  This means you can shop with your Adventure debit card anywhere MasterCard is accepted or withdraw cash for gifts.
• Fixed loan repayment: unlike a credit card, our Holiday Loan has a 12-month repayment term.  This makes budgeting and paying off debt easier (and potentially faster).

Our Holiday Loan was designed to help Michigan members enjoy the holiday season without any financial stress.  However, our Holiday Loan can be used for a lot more than just buying gifts.

Alternative uses for a Holiday Loan:

• Pay for a project.  If you have a project or major expense in mind, our Holiday Loan is a great way to finance it.  Remember, Holiday Loans are capped at $2,500.
• Pay off debt.  If you have high-interest credit card debt, you may wish to use a Holiday Loan to pay it off.
• Build credit.  Making on-time payments on a Holiday Loan will help you establish credit.  Unlike a "share secured loan," our Holiday Loan does not require any collateral.

If you are not yet a member of Adventure Credit Union, you are still welcome to apply for a holiday loan.  If your holiday loan application is approved, you will need to join the credit union before your loan can be disbursed.  Don't worry, we'll walk you through the process, and it only requires a $5 deposit to your new share account.

Adventure Credit Union is open to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in the following counties: Allegan, Barry, Clinton, Eaton, Ingham, Kent, Livingston, Newaygo, Ottawa, and Shiawassee.

Who is Adventure Credit Union?

Simply put, we're like a bank but better!  Like a bank, we offer financial services: loans, mortgages, savings accounts, checking accounts, and more.  Unlike a bank, we're a not-for-profit organization owned by our members.  This means, we work in the best interest of our members (i.e., accountholders) rather than investors.  Our non-profit status allows us offer low interest rates on our Holiday Loans and keep our account fees to the bare minimum.  When you open a share account with Adventure Credit Union, you'll never be charged a minimum balance fee or an account maintenance fee.
