Loan conditions
The lending agreement has been simplified for the clients to review and understand what is required. If any advice is needed, it is the business of Coast Capital Savings employees to explain all the agreement details to every client. After that, they will provide guidance and help the members feel more confident about their payment plan.
Applying for your first loan when you are just starting with Coast Capital requires more information about the client, a review of their credit history over the past few years and their problems, and a review of personal information. For additional loans, you will have to spend less time, mainly because some of your relevant data is already in the system. If it is a different type of product, you may be asked for additional documents depending on the type of loan product. For example, if you have used a line of credit or just transfers and now want to refinance your vehicle or take out a mortgage, you will need to submit additional documentation for these products. For more detailed information, please contact your Coast Capital advisor or submit an online application/pre-approval to get more information about your specific case. A personalized approach is very important to ensure better loan servicing. Coast Capital is interested in working with you from your first bank card through your entire career path.
