New Americans Loan Program
Must be currently applying for Citizenship Status, as well as pay a $20 application fee. If you live in VA or MD, you must process the application through CARECEN or Casa De Maryland.
Auto Loans
We understand that applying for a car loan with limited or no credit history can be frustrating. We’d suggest applying with a co-signer. Co-signers agree to be equally responsible for repayment, and their excellent credit history can support your lack of established credit.
Another option is to begin with a smaller loan amount to establish a repayment history. Along with other factors, we take a large down payment and a smaller loan request into consideration. Additional factors may include:
A long-term employment history
A shorter repayment term
Other established sources of payment history, such as a long-term apartment rental, or established repayment on a utility bill
We’re happy to sit down with you to review your request and make recommendations that may help you obtain your first auto loan.
The most common reason for refinancing your loan is to lower your interest rate. If rates have fallen since you got your loan, refinancing could save you money. You may also be able to lower your monthly payment, either by lowering your interest rate or by extending the term of repayment. Give us a call at 771-333-2038 to speak with a loan officer and we’ll calculate your potential savings.
You can get pre-approved immediately! Submit an application online or call us at 771-333-2038, option 1. Pre-approval gives you an edge when negotiating a sales price with the dealer. It’s like cash on hand!

Credit Cards
To transfer your existing balances from other credit cards to your DC Credit Union Visa, fill out our balance transfer form and bring it to your nearest branch. There is no fee for transferring your balance.
Please allow three weeks for us to process your balance transfer. Watch for payments to show up as credits on your other credit card statements. If the credit brings the balance to zero, you may cancel those accounts. We will not close accounts for you. Finances charges will be calculated on your average daily balance at the purchase rate stated in our Visa agreements. Call us at 202-673-3625 for more details.
