Here are a few FAQs

How long can I use a personal line of credit?

The Civic personal line of credit can be used for 10 years.

How is the payment calculated?

Minimum payments are 2.5% of your monthly outstanding balance, or $25, whichever is greater. Your minimum payment will never exceed your outstanding balance.

Can I use this account as an overdraft option?

Yes, this account can be used to protect your Bonus Checking account from any unplanned purchases. The authorized overdraft protection transfers money from a personal line of credit in $50 increments.

Do I have to advance the funds all at once?

Not at all. You can advance whatever amount you need from your available balance.

How do I access the funds?

For the fastest access, use online or mobile banking to transfer funds from your line of credit to any Bonus Checking, Select Savings or Money Market Account. If a check payment is preferred, contact the Experience Center and make a request for an official check. The requested check will be mailed to you at the address we have on file for your accounts.

What’s the difference between a personal loan and line of credit?

In a nutshell, one is a lump sum and the other is as-needed. A personal loan distributes your loaned funds in one lump sum. A personal line of credit is a revolving loan where you can draw from or advance the money you need, up to your available amount.

Where do I send my Civic loan payments?
