Loan Interest Rates & Repayment Information

Loan interest is charged monthly at a variable rate set quarterly by the CURF board. Once you start drawing and/or receive the full amount of your loan, you will start accruing interest.

Loan Interest

Loan interest is charged monthly at a variable rate. The interest rate is variable and can be adjusted quarterly or monthly by the CURF Board. Borrowers receive monthly Statements at the beginning of each month identifying the amount due. Payments are due on the first of each month.

Repayment Schedule

Once you start drawing and/or receive the full amount of your loan, you will start accruing interest and your first payment will be due the first day of the following month. Your loan Promissory Note and Guarantee specify the amount of and schedule for repayment. All vehicle loans must be repaid in full within five years of receiving the full amount of the vehicle loan.

Pay it off Faster

You can pay more than the monthly amount due shown on your statement in order to pay off your loan faster. CURF will apply extra payments to both the loan interest and principal, which will reduce the amount of interest accrued that you will need to pay on your loan overall. Making timely and early payments can also reduce the amount of interest you will need to pay over the course of your loan.
