  • How does a share secured loan work?

    A share secured loan offers low rates, flexibility, and quick approval. Here’s how it works: you use your existing AFFCU share certificate or savings as collateral for your loan. Continue to earn interest and leave your savings untouched, while still having extra cash at hand. Plus, you won’t need to bother with a credit check or lengthy approval process.
