Your dreams… on the house!
Take advantage of the equity in your home to make your dreams come true. A CCU home equity line of credit can make your home improvement, vacation, college, or car dreams become reality! Applying for a CCU home equity line of credit is easy, just call or visit any credit union location to begin the process. Home Equity Lines of Credit have a very low prime plus 0 rate*. To make it even better, the credit union does not impose annual fees to maintain your line of credit, like some other lenders may.

Apply for a Home Equity Line of Credit at CCU between April 14 and May 9 and the closing costs* are on us! Advances may be made against your approved credit line for up to five years and you may have up to an additional 10 years to repay. In addition to the traditional line of credit, the credit union offers more flexibility with an interest payment only, Home Equity Line of Credit. All qualified borrowers receive Loan Protection Insurance up to a total of $20,000, at no direct cost to the borrower. This offers your family the peace of mind and security of knowing that your loan may be paid in the event of your death or total and permanent disability.

Use the equity in your home for home improvements, consolidation of high rate bills, a new vehicle, an education, or that much needed vacation. Whatever your dreams... let your home work for you.

Get your CCU home equity line of credit now and take advantage of great rates, no closing costs* and great Champion Credit Union service!

*Home Equity Line of Credit rates are variable and based on the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal. Champion Credit Union will pay up to $400.00 in closing costs on new Home Equity Lines of Credit. A minimum advance of $1,000.00 must be done within six (6) months of closing date to qualify for no closing cost promotion. Consult with your tax advisor for your specific tax deductibility options. Regular credit approval applies to all loans.


Being an owner has its rewards when you When you borrow at Champion Credit Union, where you are an owner, you get something back. To show that we appreciate your business; an interest refund was paid to most members on their loans. The Board of Directors approved the one percent refund to be deposited into borrowers’ primary share accounts on March 31. The refund amount is calculated on the interest paid on loans during the first quarter of 2008.

Your credit union is one of only a handful that pay an interest refund to borrowers. That makes your great CCU loan rate an even better deal. When you are considering a new loan, remember that historically your credit union has paid you back for borrowing and you receive Credit Life Insurance at no direct cost.

This is Champion Credit Union’s way of saying “Thank you” for your continued support!”
