Get up to $15,000 in your first year completely interest free!*
With WFCU/ECU’s Student Line of Credit, students are eligible for up to $15,000 per year for a maximum of four years. After year one, pay monthly interest only on the amount you used, for the amount of time you used it. Enjoy the extra cash flow while in school and up to one year after graduation.*
With a Line of Credit, you gain access to a pre-approved amount which you can draw on at any time and pay back on a timeline that works for you. As the money is repaid, you can borrow up to that limit again.
Plus, responsibly managing a Line of Credit helps you to establish your credit rating and build your financial future.
