Contactless cards offer several benefits over traditional cards that require a physical swipe or insertion into a card reader. Some of these benefits include:
- Speed: Contactless cards can be scanned quickly and easily, resulting in faster and more efficient transactions. This can be especially useful in high-traffic retail environments where lines are lengthy.
- Convenience: Contactless cards eliminate the need for physical swiping or insertion, making them particularly useful for people on the go, such as commuters or those running errands.
- Increased security: Contactless cards reduce the risk of fraud by utilizing near-field communication (NFC) technology, which establishes a secure connection between the card and the card reader. Additionally, the risk of card skimming is reduced because a contactless card remains in the cardholder's possession.
- Reduced contact: Because contactless cards can be scanned without physical contact, they can help reduce the spread of germs and bacteria, which is especially important during a pandemic.
- Adoption: Contactless payments are becoming increasingly widespread; it may be more convenient for cardholders to have contactless cards, as many merchants are now accepting them.
Contactless card transactions are generally faster and more convenient than traditional card transactions.

Home Equity Loans for Borrowers With Bad Credit
A secured loan is a type of loan that requires collateral—such as a home, savings account, vehicle, or other valuable asset—to back the loan. For individuals with bad credit, secured loans, such as a home equity loan or home equity line of credit, can be a helpful option because the collateral reduces the lender’s risk, making approval more likely. By offering security, you may also qualify for better interest rates compared to unsecured loans. Plus, making timely payments on a secured loan can help improve your credit score over time. Keep in mind that if the loan isn’t repaid, the lender can claim the collateral to recover the balance. Talk to a PDCU lender to learn about your options.Improve Your Credit Score to Qualify for a Home Improvement Loan With Bad Credit
Improving your credit score before applying for a home loan can help you qualify for better rates and terms. Start by reviewing your credit report for errors and disputing any inaccuracies. Pay down existing debts, especially high-interest credit cards, and make all payments on time, as payment history is a key factor in your score. Avoid opening new credit accounts before applying for a mortgage, as this can lower your score temporarily. Taking these steps can strengthen your financial profile and increase your chances of securing a favorable home loan.- Home Improvement Loan: Typically, an unsecured personal loan, where you borrow a set amount to fund a home project, with fixed monthly payments and no collateral required.
- Home Equity Loan: A secured loan that uses the equity in your home as collateral, often offering larger loan amounts and lower interest rates than an unsecured loan.
- Lower Interest Rates: Because the loan is secured by your CD, the interest rates are typically lower than those of unsecured loans.
- Credit Building: A CD Secured Loan can help you build or improve your credit score through consistent, on-time payments.
- Preservation of Savings: You can access loan funds without breaking your CD and continue to earn interest on it.
- Credit card balances
- Personal loans
- Medical bills
- Debt Consolidation: This involves taking out a loan to pay off your existing debts, leaving you with one manageable payment. You are responsible for repaying the full amount of the loan.
- Debt Settlement: Involves negotiating with creditors to reduce the amount of debt you owe, often resulting in a negative impact on your credit score. Debt consolidation, on the other hand, typically helps preserve or improve your 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.
Personal loans can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Debt consolidation
- Home improvements
- Medical expenses
- Major purchases (e.g., appliances, electronics)
- Special events (e.g., weddings, vacations)
- Emergency expenses
- Secured Personal Loan: Requires collateral (e.g., a car 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.
The origination fee for a PD Quick Cash loan is a one-time cost for convenience and speed. It allows you to secure funds instantly without a traditional credit check. This is particularly beneficial when you need urgent access to funds without the usual wait times or paperwork involved in standard loan processing. It's designed to be a fast, straightforward solution for immediate financial needs.
A one-time $35 processing fee applies, regardless of loan amount.

United Concordia Dental is pleased to serve the dental insurance needs of People Driven Credit Union members and their families. People Driven Credit Union and United Concordia are partners because we care about your and your family's oral health.
Oral health problems often tax the immune system, exposing you to a greater risk of illness and infection. To help maintain a healthier smile and a healthier you, we encourage you to follow the advice of your dentist and the American Dental Association. Your dental plan emphasizes preventive care to help avoid costly procedures commonly caused by delayed treatment.
What plans are available? - People Driven Credit Union members have the choice of three plan options, including Concordia Plus MI 20 Series(DHMO), Concordia Plus MI 40 Series (DHMO), or Concordia Flex (FFS).
- Both Concordia Plus plans are managed care plans that require you to pre-select a primary dental office (PDO) from our Concordia Plus network for each of your covered family members and yourself. Each family member may select a different PDO. These plans reduce out-of-pocket costs as they feature no deductibles or annual maximum.
- Concordia Flex is a fee-for-service (FFS) plan that provides access to many practicing locations through our Advantage Plus network. Suppose your dentist does not currently participate in our network. In that case, you may still use your dentist, but your out-of-pocket expenses will likely be higher. Visiting one of our network dentists helps lower out-of-pocket costs and eliminates the need to fill out claim forms.
The plans include the Davis Vision Discount Program, which offers discounts on eye exams, eyewear, and laser vision correction. See the Davis Vision Discount Program flyer for more information.
