Plan for the unexpected
A Line of Credit from Seattle Credit Union can make things a whole lot easier when life throws you a curveball.
There when you need it
Whether you need to make emergency car repairs, cover bills while you are waiting for your paycheck, or just need a bit of extra cash, a Seattle Credit Union Line of Credit (LOC) can be the right tool for you. Even if you don't think you need a line of credit now, having an LOC available when unexpected problems happen can make you glad you planned ahead.
Low rates and no origination fees
The rates on Seattle Credit Union Lines of Credit are among the best in the Seattle area, even if you have less-than-perfect credit history.
Because Seattle Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative, there are no origination fees and no annual fees to keep your credit line active. We also won't hit you with unexpected prepayment penalties when you are ready to pay off your balance.
When you need to borrow against your line, you'll feel better knowing that your credit union is only interested in making sure you get a great loan product at our best possible price.
Manage Your Monthly Income
A Line of Credit can help manage your monthly expenses, especially when your income varies from month to month. It can be a great alternative to payday loans and help you avoid the high fees charged by some check-cashing companies.
Anytime Skip-A-Pay
Our innovative Anytime Skip-A-Pay program allows you to skip up to two lines of credit payments every twelve months with the payment of a small processing fee. Anytime Skip-A-Pay gives you the flexibility to deal with unforeseen expenses like home repairs or unusually large credit card bills without causing any damage to your credit score. This feature comes with our lines of credit, standard. It's just another way we design products to help our members prosper.

Account Backup Service
You can attach your line of credit to your Seattle Credit Union checking account to act as an Account Backup Service. If a check tries to clear when you don't have sufficient funds in your account, the LOC will automatically transfer funds to cover it. You don't have to worry about moving funds and can avoid costly overdraft or returned check charges. If you back up your account with an LOC instead of a savings account you will not be charged the $5.00 Account Backup Service Fee.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lines of Credit
- What is a line of credit (LOC)?
A line of credit is a revolving loan, which means that you can make advances up to your credit limit minus any advances you still have outstanding. You can use a line of credit over and over without having to reapply.
- Do I have to pay advances on my line of credit (LOC) in full each month?
No. You certainly can pay your advances in full, and you will pay less in interest if you do. However, if you carry a balance on your LOC from month-to-month, you will have minimum monthly payments of 2.75% of the outstanding balance or $25, whichever is greater.
- How do I get money (take advances) from my line of credit (LOC)?
You can make an advance directly into your Seattle Credit Union checking or savings account through Online Banking. You can call our Contact Center and request an advance. If your LOC is connected to your Seattle Credit Union checking account and you write a check for more than the balance in the checking account, your LOC will automatically advance enough money into your checking account to cover the check.
- How long do I have to pay off any advances on my line of credit (LOC)?
If you pay only the minimum payment required each month, it will typically take you around four years to pay off your balance, assuming you don’t make additional advances.
- How often do I have to use my line of credit (LOC) to keep it open?
Lines of Credit are subject to closure after 24 months of inactivity.
