Copper State Credit Union is very helpful, understanding and patient.
Most importantly they allowed me to explain my situation about repairing my credit. Not once did I feel that they were judging me or making me feel less because of a credit score.
I really appreciated it and the communication was great. Thank you.

Do you have loans available for those trying to boost their credit?

-
What is the difference between an interest rate and APR?
-
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing money. It's typically expressed as a percentage of the loan amount. For example, if you borrow $5,000 at a 6% interest rate, you'll pay 6% of that amount in interest each year until the loan is repaid.
