About Certificate Secured Loans

Unexpected expenses happen and if you want to avoid high-interest credit card debt or paying early withdrawal fees on your AFFCU Certificate Account, consider borrowing against it with a Certificate Secured Loan.

Borrowing against your Certificate Account can help build or re-establish credit, and you’ll continue to earn interest while still having extra cash at hand. Plus, you won’t need to bother with a credit check or lengthy approval process.

    Certificate Secured Loan Features

  • No credit check required


  • Fixed interest rate for the life of the loan


  • Borrow up to 100% of your account balance


  • Funds in your Certificate Account continue to earn dividends
