Extending a Little Kindness
Overdrafts happen. Charging more of what you already don’t have doesn’t help anyone. That’s why our Overdraft Kindness eliminates fees to help smooth the path when finances get rocky. In line with our core value of financial wellness, we absorb the burden of operating fees typically passed on to members when an account goes negative, while offering an opportunity to avoid a one-time fee if an account is brought back positive by the end of the day.
*No Overdraft Fee if, as of our day-end processing, the day’s withdrawal(s) don’t overdraw (or further overdraw) the current balance by more than $20.
No Overdraft Fee if deposit(s) or transfer(s) are made by 6:30 pm on the same day of the overdraft(s) to bring the current balance to at least $20 or less overdrawn.

"Awesome people who work here. Never had a better experience. So glad I switched to a credit union. The tellers actually get to know you and who you are, unlike big banks that just see you as a number and not a human being. Thank you Columbia CU."

HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT (HELOC)
Borrow what you need, when you need it.
Borrow against the equity in your home as often as needed during the draw period. Repay the borrowed money with fixed monthly payments after the draw period ends.
- Revolving Line of Credit: Borrow up to 100% of your home’s equity as often as needed during the draw period. Repay it, and then borrow again.
- Make Interest-Only Payments: Pay interest only on what you borrow during the draw period, which keeps payments lower early on.
- Flexible Borrowing: Ideal for ongoing or unexpected expenses — like home repairs, debt consolidation, or emergencies.
- Low Rates: HELOCs typically have lower rates than other financing options, like credit cards or personal loans.
Ready to remodel your kitchen at your own pace? Get started with a HELOC today to access flexible funding with low rates and the freedom to borrow when needed.

¹APY=Annual Percentage Yield is accurate as of December 1, 2024, and can change at any time without notice. When qualifications are met, the Rewards Dividend Rate is calculated and accrued daily on ending balances of $25,000 or less. Dividends are paid and compounded monthly. The advertised Rewards APY assumes your balance including the prior months’ dividends, is $25,000 or less every day of every month during the APY’s annual look-ahead timeframe. Minimum to open is $1. Requirements Period: (26th of the prior month – 25th of the current month). To earn Rewards APY and/or ATM fee rebates you must complete these three Requirements during the month’s Requirements Period: 1) Be enrolled in e-Statements; 2) Have one direct deposit of at least $500 into Income Checking; 3) Have 15 posted* Income Checking debit card or Columbia CU credit card purchases; pending transactions do not qualify. Please Note: Debit and credit card transactions may not post (or may show as pending, not posted) to your Income Checking or Credit Card Account the same day as the purchases. *Definition: posted transaction has fully processed and appears on your account statement or in online & mobile banking with a transaction date. Credit card purchases count toward Requirements when the same person is the Tax Reported Owner (member) on the Income Checking and the credit card account. ATM withdrawals don’t count toward Requirements. Limit one (1) Income Checking per Tax Reported Owner (Member).
²APR=Annual Percentage Rate and is accurate as of September 15, 2025. APRs range from 5.49% to 13.99%. The APR you qualify for is based on repayment period, your vehicle’s value, year and mileage, and your credit qualifications including residential status, credit and employment history. Payment example: If you borrow $20,000 for 60 months at 5.49% APR, your monthly payment would be $381.93.
If you’re refinancing your vehicle loan from another lender, we will give you the lowest of either a) your Columbia CU qualifying APR or; b) up to 1.00% APR off your current lender’s APR down to our floor of 4.99% APR. Lowest APRs include Checking Relationship Plan discount which provides a qualifying rate discount of 0.25% APR for automatic loan payments from Columbia CU checking. Within 60 days of loan closing, automatic payments can be set up via an automatic transfer from your Columbia CU consumer checking account to your loan with the assistance of a Columbia CU representative via phone or by visiting your local branch. Membership required to borrow. Columbia Credit Union may offer other rates in the future.
