Signature Loans

  • Get fast access to the funds you need, for whatever you need them for. Let us help you meet your financial needs and goals with a personal loan.

Credit Matters Loan

  • Guardian’s Credit Matters Loan is designed to help our members strengthen their credit scores, which can have a lasting impact on their lives. All members qualify, regardless of their credit score. Here’s how the loans work:
    • Loan amounts from $600 to $1,500 to be repaid over a 12-month term.
    • Loan proceeds are placed in a restricted savings account and are released after the loan is paid in full.
    • Successful repayment is reported to credit bureaus, which can have a positive impact on your credit score.
    • Automatic drafts can be set up to pay this on time, every time.

Share Secured

  • Secure your loan using the funds in your share account as collateral. Our members pay less over all with this secured loan because of Guardian’s low interest rate, helping you get more for less.

CD SECURED

  • This secured loan uses the funds in your Guardian Certificate of Deposit (CD) as collateral. The loan rate will be 2% above what you’re earning on your Guardian CD and the term will be the same as CD maturity.

Guardian offers optional loan protection plans to give you added peace of mind. Coverage includes Credit Life & Disability, GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection), MPB (Member Protection Plan), and DPW (Debt Protection with Life Plus). These plans help cover your loan in the event of disability, death, vehicle loss, job loss, or other life events—protecting your finances and credit. Ask a Guardian Lending Agent for details and potential rate discounts.
