Line of Credit
A Line of Credit (LOC) maximizes your purchasing power. It ensures access to funds when needed without waiting or arranging for a personal loan. It's great for personal emergencies, car repairs, major home appliances, investment opportunities, education, RRSPs and more. Rates are usually significantly lower than retail credit cards, so paying off credit card balances in full each month with a LOC can reduce overall borrowing costs.
- You control your own credit
- Funds are accessible by personal cheque, or cash withdrawal
- Competitive interest rate
- Flexible payment schedules
- You pay interest only on amount of funds used
- Credit life, disability and critical illness insurance are available

Vehicle Loans
Take the smart course - before visiting the dealership, arrange a pre-approved car loan at Lake View Credit Union. A pre-approved loan puts you in the driver’s seat when negotiating price or comparing lease agreements. When comparing, remember to ask about making extra payments, loan insurance and the cost of borrowing. With the right information you can make the decision that best fits your lifestyle. You can use a pre-approved loan for used and new cars, trucks, boats or recreational vehicles. Ask about our special new vehicle loan rates.
