DCU Bill Consolidation Loans
This loan allows you to combine several bills into one monthly payment at a rate lower than most bank credit cards. If you direct deposit your net pay, Social Security, or pension into your DCU Checking Account and make electronic payments for the full term of your loan, your interest rate will be 1/2% below that for other payment methods. See below for more on qualifying repayment methods.
Rates are also based on your personal credit history. See our rates page for current interest rates. Use our Loan Calculators to help you determine the loan financing and payment options that are best for you.
Repaying is easy. You can set up your loan for weekly or monthly payments. Each payment will be the same amount. That amount, and how your previous payments were applied to principal and interest, are shown on your regular DCU monthly statement.
You can repay electronically and qualify for our best rates any of three ways. (1) You can repay online with PC Branch with a simple transfer from any of your DCU savings accounts. When you set up Automatic Transfers with PC Branch, it's even more convenient. (2) You can also make loan payment transfers by phone with Easy Touch. (3) Finally, you can have us automatically make the payments by automatic transfer for you. All you need to do is fill out and send us your authorization form. You can even make Loan Principal-Only Payments on Easy Touch.
In addition, you can repay at a DCU ATM, at any DCU branch, or by mail with a loan payment coupon. These methods do not qualify for Direct Deposit/Electronic Payment rates.
While a Bill Consolidation Loan is convenient, it may not always be the most economical way to reduce the number of bills you receive. Here are two money-saving alternatives...
- Borrow against your car – If you have equity in your car, you can borrow against that equity with a DCU Auto Loan. The rates are much lower because you're pledging your vehicle as collateral on the loans.
- Borrow against your home – If you have equity in your home, you can borrow against that equity with a DCU Mortgage or Home Equity Loan. The rates are typically the lowest available because you're pledging your home as collateral on the loans.
