CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Odds depend on your creditworthiness and loan type, not a competitive selection process.
As a credit union lender, approval is based on standard lending criteria rather than a grant competition. Rolling applications mean you can apply anytime, but you must qualify as a borrower.
WHAT IT TAKES
Confirm membership eligibility and open a CWCU account if needed — 1-2 days
Select the right loan product (SBA, equipment, line of credit, etc.) and gather financials — 1-2 weeks
Apply online or schedule a meeting with a business banker — 1-2 hours
WORTH KNOWING
CWCU holds a Juntos Avanzamos designation, indicating a commitment to serving Latino and underserved communities — worth noting if your business is in an underserved segment.
