Alert to Travelers Please call us when you have travel plans that include using your Missouri Central Credit Union VISA Credit Card or VISA Debit Card. Due to the increased Home Owner’s Advantage Loans and Home Equity Lines of Credit If you are looking to borrow money, a Home Owner’s Advantage Loan or a Home Equity Line of Credit may be a smart option. Both of these loans are considered second mortgage loans because your home is used to secure the loan. They allow you access to your home’s value, minus outstanding loan balances, to pay for anything from a vacation, to a complete home remodel. Missouri Central has options and terms that make borrowing your home’s equity simple and affordable. Whether a fixed or variable rate fits your style, MCCU’s loans have no closing costs and no annual fees! Home Owner’s Advantage Loans A Home Owner’s Advantage Loan allows you to borrow one time at a fixed rate for a specified term. The set amount you decide to borrow is paid back in fixed monthly payments during the term of the loan. Home Equity Lines of Credit A Home Equity Line of Credit is a revolving loan that can be accessed at any time and as often as you need. Many borrowers set the credit limit as high as possible to provide a cushion for emergencies or expenses they know will be coming in the future. Unlike a Home Owner’s Advantage Loan, the interest rate is variable and moves up or down based on the Prime Interest Rate. The interest rate and the balance on the loan determine the monthly payment. Benefits to both of these loans include: •No Annual Fees •No Closing Costs on loans $10,000 or More •Low Loan Rates •Interest May be Tax Deductible amount of credit and debit card fraud, unusual activity on your credit card may trigger our fraud prevention system to block your card.
