What is a home improvement loan?

A fixed-rate loan used to finance renovations, repairs, upgrades, or other qualifying home improvements.

How does it work?

After approval, you receive the loan proceeds and repay them in fixed monthly payments over a set term.

How is it different from a home equity loan?

This home improvement loan is not secured by any mortgage or other lien on your property,  and that means there is no impact to your home's equity. In contrast, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit collateralize your home’s equity with a mortgage.

Important eligibility information

  • All individuals listed on the property title must be applicants on the home improvement loan.
  • Properties held in trusts, life estates, or similar ownership structures are not eligible.
  • Worcester Credit Union membership required.

Loan approval, rates, and terms are based on creditworthiness and other qualifying factors. Additional terms and conditions may apply. Contact us for complete details.
