REGULAR SAVINGS

By opening a savings account with a deposit of at least $35, your membership is established in Light Commerce Credit Union. Your savings account offers a competitive dividend with a balance of at least $100.  Watch your savings grow with regular automatic deposits. By using an allocation from your direct deposit, payroll deduction or an automatic transfer from another account, savings is easy.

NuGEN SAVINGS

This account offers a savings option for a minor child. With a minimum deposit of $35, your child can have their own account and be taught the importance of saving. Choose from our regular minor account that gives the minor child the opportunity to learn to make deposits and withdraw funds. Or, if you prefer to have sole access to the account for the benefit of the child, we can setup a TUTMA account.

VACATION CLUB

All you have to do is make a minimum deposit of $50.00 and then make a regular deposit (with no withdrawals) starting May 15 through April 30 of the following year.

52 WEEK SAVINGS

The 52 week savings challenge allows you to strategically save a certain amount of money each week over a period of 52 weeks. For example, in week 1 you save $1, week 2 you save $2, week 3 you save $3 and so on until the very last week where you save $52.   You can also do the 52 Week savings money challenge.  In week 1, you save $52, week 2 you save $51, week 3 you save $50 and so on until you get to week 52 where you save just $1.  At the end of 52 weeks, you will have saved $1,378.

NEW AND USED AUTOMOBILE LOANS

Light Commerce Credit Union has some of the most attractive interest rates for new and used vehicles, as well as boats and recreational vehicles. Fast pre-approvals make it easy for you to shop for a new vehicle, knowing you have the cash you need. It is a smart move to get pre-approved! Light Commerce Credit Union works with car professionals who are committed to helping you purchase your vehicle at the right price. In addition, we have a list of dealers who are willing to work with credit union members.

SIGNATURE LOANS

The perfect answer for those miscellaneous purchases. Light Commerce Credit Union offers unsecured loans established for a predetermined period of time with specific payments. A signature loan can be set up for household goods, computers or other personal needs.

CREDIT REPAIR LOANS

Light Commerce Credit Union offers share secured loans that enable you to establish or rebuild your credit. The amount borrowed is deposited and held in your savings account for the term of the loan. Once the loan is paid in full, the amount in your savings account is released to you plus any interest earned.

AUTO EXAM

Auto Exam is a service designed for those members investing in a used vehicle. Auto Exam conducts 100-point inspections of used vehicles and reports the condition of the vehicle, before purchase. It takes the worry out of buying a used vehicle, all for a nominal fee.

VEHICLE WARRANTY

Extended warranty coverage is available on your new or used vehicle. This coverage is similar to what the dealerships offer, but at a much more reasonable price. You are not restricted to any repair location and can choose the mechanic of your choice.

CREDIT LIFE AND DISABILITY PROTECTION

Credit Life and Disability Protection will cover loan payments in case of death or disability, protecting your family from unnecessary hardship. Both are available for a nominal fee.

GAP INSURANCE PLUS

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is a great way to protect your finances if the value of your vehicle is less than the amount of your car loan. A good rule of thumb is to assume your new vehicle will lose on average 19% the first year you own it, half of which occurs immediately after taking possession.* This leaves a “gap” between what you owe on your loan and the value of your vehicle. In the event of a total loss due to an accident or theft, GAP is designed to cancel the difference between what you owe on your loan and the amount paid by your primary auto insurer.  Gap Insurance Plus offers a $1,000 down payment toward your next automobile purchase provided you finance with the credit union.
