What's New

MONEY SALE!!!

For the 4th quarter 2008, we are offering a discount of 1/2% off all * auto/truck and signature loans. Buy that auto soon or bring in your loan papers from another institution and we'll see what we can do to make your loan payments a little lighter on your wallet.  For new autos, the rate is 5.99% APR, but with this special Money Sale, it can go down to 5.49% APR.  But, if you have your payment automatically transferrred, we can reduce the rate to 5.24% APR.  All* loans have loan protection insurance, which means if you qualify, your loan may be paid off if you should die.  Call us for more details on this.  There is no charge for this protection at ARC.  If you want this protection from a dealer, you will be charged!!  This special ends on December 31.  Even if you bought your car last month, you can still qualify.  We understand that some auto finance companies are requiring that buyers hold onto their loans for 90 days.  So, come and see us after 91.  We're here to help. 

If you have already bought a car and wish you had purchased a warranty repair service, give us a call.  We are able to offer a Mechanical Repair Coverage policy through CUNA Mutual's Member Connect program.  You tell them what coverage you want and can afford; they will create the policy for you.  Normally, this coverage is much cheaper than your dealership--and coverage is recognized by repair shops.  Call for more details.

* VISA, home equity, first mortgages and LOC loans are excluded from this special.  Certain loan guidelines must be met to qualify for any loan.

NEW VISA CARD HOLDER INTRODUCTORY RATE

Another loan special for this 4th quarter 2008:  For any member that opens an ARC Platinum VISA card, an introductory interest rate of  3.9% APR will be applied to all purchases for the first 3 months.  It's a great time to get Christmas presents at a discount rate!   The rate after 3 months is 11.9% APR.

Refinance your auto loan with us

If you have an auto loan with another financial institution, bring in your loan papers and title and we will see how we can save you some time and money!  We may be able to reduce your payments, your interest rate and with automatice payment transfers, we can save you the time to stand in line or the cost of a postage stamp.  Your interest rate can be reduced by 1/4% if you agree to automatic payments, too. If we give you this re-fi loan, we'll also give you a $50 gas card for your trouble.  Give Sue or Fran a call.

 Home Equity  Loans available for a variety of purposes

Have major home improvement, school tuition, or college expenses?  All are good reasons to consider using a home equity loan.  Our Home Equity Line of Credit loan is opened with an established limit and you borrow against it as needed.  The interest rate is Prime Rate +1, which means that the current rate* for a H/E Line Of Credit loan is 6.0% APR for 4th quarter 2008.  However,  because we discount the loan for the first 6 months, this means you can get your loan for 4.0% APR for the initial 6 months.  This is a variable rate, so call our office for the most current rate.  Our one-time-advance Closed-end Home Equity loan is currently at 7.5% APR.  Have questions?  More details are available in our home equity packages. (*Prime rate is 5.0% APR as of  9/30/08.)  These rates are subject to change.  Call for current rates.
