You Save Money on PMCU Loans – We Give Money to Your School
The PMCU LIFE program shares loan interest earnings from loans opened at Premier Members CU, with schools just like Box Tops for Education™ and the grocery store programs do. Everyone can save money on their loans while generating monthly funding for their selected recipient.
Here’s how it works:
Online Loan Application (Non-Mortgage)
- Complete and submit your loan application
- Click on “Home” AFTER submitting your application
- Click on “View and Send Messages” under your loan app
- Send message indicating it is “LIFE” loan along with name of recipient school or PEN™
Online Mortgage Application
- Add the word “LIFE” in the Referral Source field during the application
- Please mention “LIFE” and school of choice or PEN to the Mortgage Officer in person during the loan process
In Branch Loan Application
- Visit a PMCU branch
- Mention LIFE to your PMCU Loan Officer during the loan application and select your school of choice or PEN™
That’s LIFE, and it’s that simple!
Here’s how your school/PEN™ benefits:
- $300 per Mortgage Loan (new purchase or refinance)
- 10% of Loan Interest on consumer loans (new purchase or refinance) including Home Equity Line of Credit, 2nd mortgage, auto loan, credit card, personal loan (debt consolidation)
Example of how the funds add up quickly:
- 10 mortgages = $3,000 for your selected recipient*
- 50 Auto Loans = $3,800 for your selected recipient*
