How are relocation loan rates determined?
Personal loan rates are based on several factors, including creditworthiness, the amount borrowed, income, and other application details. Your actual APR and loan term are subject to approval, and rates may change over time. If you want to better understand what affects your loan and what to review before applying, check out What to Know Before Applying for a Personal Loan for a helpful overview of APR, monthly payments, repayment terms, and total borrowing costs.
Can I pay off my personal loan early?
Yes. People Driven Credit Union personal loans have no prepayment penalties, so you can pay extra or pay off your balance early if you choose.
What is AutoPay?
AutoPay is a convenient service that automatically withdraws your loan payment each month from your People Driven Credit Union checking or savings account. It helps you stay on track, avoid late fees, and may even qualify you for our ¹Special Loan Rate Discount. To enroll in AutoPay, please call us at 248-263-4100 and a representative will assist you with setup.
What’s the ¹Special Loan Rate Discount?
Our ¹Special Loan Rate Discount offers a 0.25% APR reduction when you set up automatic payments (AutoPay) for your loan from a People Driven Credit Union checking or savings account. This discount is already included in the “as low as” rate advertised.
To enroll in AutoPay and receive the discount, please call us at 248-263-4100. A representative will assist you in setting up monthly automatic withdrawals from your PDCU account.
Note: The discount is available only for eligible loans with AutoPay set up from a PDCU account. Terms and conditions may apply.
Do I get any benefits with autopay?
Yes, enrolling in autopay may qualify you for a rate discount, reducing the overall cost of your loan. Check with our team for current promotional details.
How does a personal loan affect my credit score?
A personal loan can impact your credit score in several ways:
Positive Impact: Making on-time payments can improve your credit score.
Negative Impact: Missing payments or defaulting on the loan can harm your credit score. Additionally, applying for a loan results in a hard inquiry, which may temporarily lower your score.
What can I use a personal loan for?
Personal loans can be used for many expenses, including home updates, travel, weddings, major purchases, and other personal projects. Loan use must meet any applicable credit union requirements and approval conditions. Contact us if you would like to confirm whether your personal loan can be used for your specific expense.
Can I get a personal loan with bad credit?
Yes, it is possible to get a personal loan with bad credit, but it may come with higher interest rates and stricter terms. Consider lenders who specialize in bad credit loans, or use a co-signer to improve your chances of approval and secure better rates.
What is the difference between a secured and an unsecured personal loan?
Secured Personal Loan: Requires collateral (e.g., a Certificate of Deposit (CD) or savings account). Offers lower interest rates due to reduced risk for the lender.
Unsecured Personal Loan: Does not require collateral. The interest rate is based on your creditworthiness and may be higher than secured loans.
How do I check the status of my loan application?
To check the status of your loan application, contact People Driven Credit Union at 248-263-4100 during business hours or reach out to your assigned loan specialist if you have their contact information. Be ready to verify your identity and share details such as your name, member number, or application number so we can review your application with you.
When you check your status, it is also a good idea to ask whether any additional documents or information are needed to keep your application moving.

Moving Tip: Build a “Realistic” Moving Budget
Moves tend to run over budget because costs stack up fast—supplies, fuel, temporary storage, and last-minute needs. Planning ahead (and having a financing option ready, if needed) can help keep the move from turning into a financial headache.
Choose a Term That Fits Your Budget
Need a smaller monthly payment? A longer term may help spread costs out. Prefer to pay it down faster? A shorter term can reduce the time you’re making payments. We’ll help you choose a loan amount and term that makes sense for your situation.
