Stop

Construction loans can be complicated, expensive, and unpredictable. They often involve staged funding, contractor coordination, inspections, budget changes, and a lot more stress than people expect. Instead, People Driven Credit Union focuses on options that are often easier to manage, like traditional mortgages for home purchases and home equity solutions for improvements to a home you already own.

People Driven Credit Union does not offer construction loans.

Connect with PDCU’s Mortgage Loan Officer if you need help being talked out of a construction loan.

APY

APY stands for Annual Percentage Yield. It is a measure of the total amount of interest earned on an account based on the interest rate and the frequency of compounding over a year. APY is a useful metric for comparing the annual earnings on different savings products, such as savings accounts, CDs, and money market accounts, because it standardizes the effect of compounding.

Key Points About APY

Includes Compounding: APY accounts for how often interest is compounded (e.g., daily, monthly, quarterly), which can significantly affect the total interest earned over time.
Comparison Tool: APY provides a standard way to compare the annual interest earnings of different savings products, regardless of how frequently interest is compounded.
Formula: The formula for calculating APY is:
```
APY = (1 + r/n)^n - 1
```
where r is the nominal interest rate (expressed as a decimal), and n is the number of compounding periods per year.
Higher APY: A higher APY indicates that you will earn more interest on your money over a year, assuming the same principal amount.

Example

For example, if a savings account offers an interest rate of 5% compounded monthly, the APY would be higher than 5% due to the effect of monthly compounding. This makes APY a useful metric for comparing the real return on different financial products.
