New Student Loan programs

In a time of rising borrowing costs and tightening lending, Eastern New York Federal Credit Union, Napanoch, NY, has partnered with Fynanz, Inc., to buck the trend and continue to give members access to affordable student loans.

With this new program, we're able to help members secure private loans to meet the rising cost of higher education. Private student loans are used to cover qualified education expenses including tuition, room and board, books and other school related expenses above and beyond the federal loan limits and available grants and scholarships.

The new student loan program features competitive interest rates, in-school deferred payment, cosigner release, and a 1% interest rate reduction once 10% of the loan is repaid.

5/5/Flex home equity loan

Our new 5/5/Flex home equity loan gives you the certainty and predictability of a fixed-rate loan, with the potential savings of an adjustable. With this loan, you have a fixed interest rate for the first 5 years of the loan, then it adjusts every 5 years through the term of the loan. The initial rate is lower than a 10-, 15- or 20-year home equity loan, and you have peace of mind knowing your payment won’t change for quite a while. As with all ENY FCU home equity loans and lines of credit, there are no closing costs or fees, no prepayment penalties, and most loans close in just 10 days. Click here to apply!
