CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Approval depends on standard creditworthiness and business lending criteria, not a competitive selection process.
As a CDFI credit union, Peak CU is mission-driven to serve underserved borrowers, which may mean more flexible underwriting than traditional banks, but specific approval rates are not publicly disclosed.
WHAT IT TAKES
Confirm membership eligibility and join Peak Credit Union — 1–2 days
Review business lending options on the Peak CU site and gather financial documents — 1–2 weeks
Submit a business loan application online or at a branch — 1–3 days
WORTH KNOWING
NWCU has rebranded to Peak Credit Union (peakcu.org); the original URL redirects there. Confirm current business lending terms and membership requirements directly with the credit union, as the funder page text focuses primarily on consumer products.
