How the New Americans Loans Program works
We’re proud to partner with CARECEN and CASA to offer our New American Loans program, an initiative that aims to make naturalization and other immigration-related processes more affordable. Our low-interest, one-year micro-loans remove the high cost barrier of application fees.
- Can be used for a wide range of immigration-related fees
- Low 10% annual percentage rate
- 12-month term
- Must be either an existing member of DC Credit Union, or referred by one of our partner organizations
