They would need to fax the request to 309-557-2080, including a payoff date, property address and borrower’s authorization.

You can submit proof of insurance with this form, through our portal (you will need your access code from the letter you received), by fax at 866-823-0744, or by email at [email protected].

*The declaration page needs to have the year of vehicle, make, model, vin number, coverages/deductibles, and IAA Credit Union listed as lienholder. An insurance card is not acceptable!

We require the declarations page that shows your vehicle information (year, make, model, and VIN#); the coverages on the vehicle to include deductible; and IAACU listed as lienholder.

You will need an estimate of repairs statement from your insurance company as well as a contract/estimate from the company that will complete the repairs.

The credit union must have guaranteed funds on hand before releasing the title. If the vehicle is paid with cash or a cashier’s check, the title can be released that day in person. If it is paid off with a personal check, the title would be available when the funds clear. By mail, your title will arrive in 7-10 business days after the final payment has been processed.

There are 2 options for Home Equity Loans.

Option 1 is a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). This is a line set with a limit similar to a credit card and offers a variable rate. You only pay interest on the portion of the line you use. For example, you have a $20,000 limit but a $5,000 balance, your monthly payment is based on the $5,000 balance. This loan is great for home improvements, paying for education, or as a “safety net” for the unforeseen future. An interesting feature of a HELOC is the fixed rate partition. This allows you to designate a portion or all of the line at a fixed rate for a 10 year period. This works well for people who make major purchases on their line and intend to pay them off over a longer period of time without the risk of rising rates. There is a $100 processing fee for this option. As the fixed line is paid down it can be used again at the variable rate. For example if you have a line for $20,000 with $10,000 on fixed rate for college tuition. After paying for a year you have paid of $2,000 of the fixed portion you would have $12,000 available on the line.

Option 2 is a fixed rate Home Equity loan. This option is available from 5 to 30 years. The Home Equity loan is an installment loan with a fixed rate for the entire period. In this option you take the entire amount of the loan at closing and pay the loan back in equal monthly installments for the designated time period. The ability to draw funds in the future is not available on this type of loan.

The qualifications are the same as a 1st mortgage.

If you have the HELOC, you can take an advance through on-line banking, writing a check from the HELOC checkbook, or by calling the Service Center.  HELOC advances and checks have to be a minimum of $250.  These advances can be taken at any time for the first ten years of the line. 

The only fixed rate loan you are able to take an advance on is the HELOC with a fixed rate partition.  There is a $100 processing fee to lock in additional funds and the $250 advance minimum still applies.

The variable rate is calculated by adding or subtracting a margin to the Prime rate. The margin you are charged is dependant upon the loan to value of the HELOC.

0 -80% is Prime - 0.250%
80.01 - 90% is Prime + 1.000%
90.01 - 100% is Prime +2.000%

EXAMPLE:
If prime rate today is 8.000% and you have an 80% HELOC your rate would be 8.000% (Prime) - 0.250% (margin) = 7.750% (your rate).

On a fixed rate loan the payments are determined by taking the amount of the loan and the interest rate and amortizing over the desired period of time.  Payments for the lines of credit up to 80% LTV are interest only. Payment on lines of credit up to 90% are interest plus .5% of the principal balance.

EXAMPLE:
If you had a balance of $20,000 on a 90% HELOC at a rate of 9.000% your payment would be calculated-
9.000% (rate) / 365 (days in year) = .00025 (daily interest) x $20,000 (balance) = $5.00 (daily) x 31 (day in month) = $155 interest portion of the payment.

To figure the principle amount required-
$20,000 (principle balance) x .5% (portion of principle due) = $100.
You would then add $155 for interest to $100 for principle to get a total of $255.

These payments can change as the principle balance is paid down or increased through an advance.

You can apply online at our website. If you have additional questions please contact the mortgage lending team at 800-676-2541.  

We look at credit scores and credit history.  Some programs are driven by your actual Credit Score and have minimum requirement.  Other programs look less at the score and more at your overall credit history. This helps buyers with limited credit or members who had credit issues in the past and have rebuilt a new credit reputation.  We figure your debt to income ratio which is the difference between you pretax and deduction income and your monthly debts.  The industry standard is 28% of your monthly income can be used for mortgage payments, property taxes, and home owner’s insurance; and 38% of your income is used to satisfy all debts including the new mortgage.  Other debts we include are car payments, credit card payments, student loans, etc.  Finally we look at the value of the house as opposed to money down or financed amount.  Conventional financing is going to require at least 5% cash down to qualify for a loan.

We have several programs that allow for low to no money down like the FHA loan and My Community 100.  These programs also allow the borrower to have a higher debt to income ratio and make allowance for past credit issues. 

We originate loans up to a 30 year term.  Shorter term loans offer lower interest rates.  Rates change every day and are dependant upon the loan type and purpose of the mortgage.

We only charge fees we incur on your behalf during the mortgage process.  The most typical fees are title and appraisal, but there are city, county and state specific fees depending on where you live.  Most closings costs run between $600 and $1,200.  Unlike other lenders, we do not charge “JUNK” fees such as underwriting, processing, or origination fees.  We also price our loans without points (pre paid interest charged to the borrower in a lump sum amount at closing to be able to offer a lower interest rate) which also differentiates us from other lenders.

A pre-qualification takes about 1 hour.  A pre-approval (income and assets verified, underwriter review) takes about 7 days.

A Consumer Loan is basically any type of loan that does not have to do with you home.  At the IAA Credit Union, our consumer loans include personal loans, secured loans, auto loans, recreational vehicle loans and credit cards.  

There are a few options. You can apply online at our website or call into our call center and do the application over the phone. For auto loans, this process should be completed before purchasing the vehicle.

Qualification for these types of loans is primarily based upon the applicant’s monthly income compared to their monthly debt load, credit score and credit history. Each application is individually reviewed in order to best meet the needs of our members.

All loan rates are posted on our website or can be found at each of the branches. They are subject to change often, so be sure to get the most updated rate. At this time, all posted rates include a .50% discount for Platinum Checking and .50% for auto pay.  

Personal loan terms are generally for no more than 36 months. Auto Loan terms are generally for no more than 72 months. Recreational Vehicle Loan terms are determined by the collateral, applicant’s credit and loan amount.

Not necessarily, but it is recommended that you submit an application and are preapproved before signing for the vehicle. This way, all that the dealer will need to do is fax (309-557-2604) the purchase agreement to the credit union when the deal is complete. Once the final purchase price is established and documented, then the loan can be completed.

The credit union must have guaranteed funds on hand before releasing the title.  If the vehicle is paid with cash or a cashier’s check, the title can be released that day.  If it is paid off with a personal check, the title should be received within 7 to 10 business days.   

We have an integrated payroll deduction program with several of our sponsoring companies including COUNTRY Financial, GROWMARK, and IAA (Illinois Farm Bureau). IAACU accepts payroll deduction from any employer able to ACH Payroll funds. Please check with your employer’s payroll department to see if they can support it.

If you are local, you can come in and we can print you an Instant Issue Debit card. If you are not local or need a Credit Card, those take 7 to 10 business days to arrive in your mailbox. They are mailed in a plain white envelope.
