NFCU Loan approval low income

I just wanted to share, I helped my mom get a personal loan from Navy and thought someone may appreciate the DPs. 

 

She was instantly approved for $6700 18% APR for 60 months, with an annual income of approx $20k.  It's not the lowest APR but it's better than what she was paying... she had some balances on high interest credit cards as well as a high interest loan from Oportun. 

 

EQ 9 score 683

No lates but her file is pretty young, she has 1 account that's 13 years old but everything else is 2 years or less.

She's been a member of Navy for 1 year and has two credit cards with them, the individual util on those are:

Platinum 23%

More Rewards 51%

She has several other credit cards with other issuers. Overall utilization is 36%.

 

I did try to do SP prequalification for a personal loan through some other companies but no one was approving her, I am guessing due to income. I should have known to check with Navy first Smiley Happy I can't think of any other DPs but if anyone has a question let me know!

Thank you for sharing. I was curious how they deal with low income personal loans in case I ever need one.

Congrats to your mom on the $$ saved on interest.  From my small experience w/ CU personal loans, $6.7k on $20k is definitely an UNS DTI you can get approved if they like you, assuming no other unsecured debt.

Re: NFCU Loan approval low income

Please check and confirm the APR. It is my understanding that the maximum APR NFCU charges is 18%, so perhaps a minor typo here.

I checked and you're right, it was 18%. Not sure why my brain added that .99. ☺️ I edited my original post. Thanks!
