Credit cards ›3Rivers auto loans
Auto loans are among the most popular Three Rivers Federal Credit Union products. Members finance new and used cars, trucks and SUVs as low as 5.74% APR, and the credit union also refinances a loan you already have somewhere else. Because 3Rivers is a not-for-profit cooperative, earnings come back to members as competitive rates rather than shareholder profit. Getting pre-approved before you visit a dealer lets you negotiate like a cash buyer and keeps you from being upsold on financing at the lot. Roughly 35% of all U.S. auto purchases are financed through credit unions, according to industry lending data, so a member-owned lender is a mainstream choice, not a niche one.

Personal loans and debt consolidation
A 3Rivers personal loan gives you a fixed amount up front with a fixed monthly payment and no collateral. Members use them for medical bills, home repairs, moving costs or a large one-time purchase. The same product works well for debt consolidation: if you carry balances on several higher-rate cards, one consolidation loan can replace them with a single payment and, often, a lower overall rate. Before you apply, list your current balances and rates so you can see the real savings. Signed-in members can review balances any time in 3Rivers online banking.
How to apply for a 3Rivers loan
- Confirm you qualify for membership — anyone living or working in the Indiana and Ohio service area can join.
- Open a 3Rivers account with a small share deposit if you are not already a member.
- Gather income, employment and the amount you want to borrow.
- Submit the application on the official site or at one of the 25 branches, and review current rates first.
Membership is required to borrow
Because 3Rivers is a credit union rather than a bank, borrowers are also owners. You become a member by opening a savings account with a modest deposit, and that membership unlocks loans, credit cards and deposit accounts. Field-of-membership rules are broad: people who live, work, worship or attend school in the Indiana and Ohio service area generally qualify, and family members of existing members can join too. See the membership page for details, and note that deposits are federally insured by the NCUA up to applicable limits.
