PLEASE NOTE: The actual rate you pay for the life of the loan is determined by your FICO/Emperica credit score at the time of application, thus your rate may be higher. Each of the credit reporting agencies utilized by BTFCU assigns credit scores using the same formulas. Experian®, one of the credit reporting agencies we use, has information on credit scores at http://www.experian.com/consumer/help/score/index.html. You can also call the Credit Union for more information. (Rates subject to change at the board's discretion without notification.)
