PCU SHARE SECURED LOAN
Let your money work for you!
You work hard for your
money. . . now let it work
for you with a PCU Share
Secured Loan! It’s a quick
way to get the cash you
need without taking money
from your Share Savings Account, and it’s an
excellent way to build or rebuild your credit history!
A Share Secured Loan has a low interest rate and
flexible terms of up to 48 months. Because your
Share Savings Account is your collateral, you can
borrow dollar for dollar against the money in your
Share Secure Account! The money in your Share
Secure Account continues to earn dividends, and
you have the cash you need!

of one lucky member! When that member
finds their account number and calls us, we
