In some situations, exploring a debt consolidation loan could be a viable option. If you find yourself with multiple unsecured debts, and many at high interest rates, a personal loan or a UMCU Visa® for debt consolidation could allow you to pay-off those debts with one new loan at a lower interest rate. It helps with getting the bills organized, and it can also save you money. UMCU’s My Choice Loan provides competitive rates and an easy application process. Credit is a factor, as is monthly income, so talk to a UMCU Member Service Representative today.
