Ways to Make Smart Financial Planning Decisions Today
Interra takes our corporate mission seriously when we state we want to be our members’ most trusted and valued financial resource. Did you know that Interra has technology tools that can assist you with your financial goals? These tools are easily accessible right at your fingertips through the Interra website, and online banking.
Calculate Your Goals.
- Through Interra’s website, you can access financial calculators. They are easy to use, and allow you to match your goals, and expectations specifically to your financial situation. Use the calculators to help you calculate a vehicle payment, debit-to-income, savings, planning for retirement and much more! Calculators are for informational purposes only and do not constitute offers of credit. Check out the more than 60 calculators at interracu.com/calculator.
- Want to be a millionaire? Saving money requires self-discipline on your current spending habits. Adding monthly earnings to your savings can significantly grow your account over time. It’s important to factor inflation into your savings plan, too.
- Interra’s online banking gives you the ability to view your credit score for free through SavvyMoney™. The dashboard allows you to view your score rating, payment history, and credit usage. By viewing this information, you can monitor your current credit position in order to be aware of what lenders may see. It allows you to view a snapshot of any possible inaccurate or incomplete information.
Benefits of a Share Certificate.
- A share certificate works similarly to a savings account, where you deposit money and receive dividends. With a share certificate, you must set an opening deposit and keep the money in the account for a specified amount of time. If you’re looking for ways to practice good saving skills, opening a share certificate could be the right option for you. Share certificates also tend to offer a higher rate than savings accounts.
Financial Health & Wellness Tools.
- These tools allow members to link their other financial institution accounts within Interra's mobile banking app. Once connected with these accounts, members can view their balances in one place. You can set goals, regulate spending habits/analysis, view spending forecasts, and perform financial checkups.

¹All loans are subject to credit approval and collateral review. Rates may vary based on credit qualifications and not all borrowers will qualify for the lowest rate. Home Equity Line of Credit is a revolving line of credit offered to qualified borrowers. You can obtain advances of credit for 5 to 10 years (“the draw period”). Not a guarantee of credit. ²Program rates, terms, and conditions are effective as of August 1, 2022, and are subject to change without notice. Annual percentage rate (APR) of the variable rate program HELOC is based on the Prime Rate as published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, plus a margin; the maximum the APR can increase is 6% above the initial non-promotional rate, if applicable. For example, if you opened a HELOC with a 700 credit score at 4.75% APR, the highest the rate could increase to during the life of the loan would be 10.75% APR. The rate is subject to increase and decrease. The variable rate line is subject to a minimum rate of 3.50%. As of Augurst 1, 2022, fixed rate as low as 6.50% and variable rate as low as 5.50% based on credit score. ³Interest on outstanding balances prior to August 1, 2022, will continue to accrue at the regular rate of either Prime or Prime plus a margin, if applicable. Loan Payment Information: When you make a payment, any principal payment will apply first to the lowest promotional balance and then to any previously outstanding balance through March 31, 2023. Effective April 1, 2023, the rate on any remaining promotional balance outstanding will go back to the regular rate disclosed in borrower's HELOC open-end credit plan. ⁴The credit union will pay for the standard closing costs of a property valuation, flood determination, junior loan title policy, and recording of the mortgage. The borrower(s) is responsible for any non-standard charges, such as regular lender’s title, deed preparation and/or deed recording fees, if applicable. These fees generally total between $250 to $900. If the HELOC is paid in full and closed within 24-months of opening, you must reimburse the amount paid in closing costs by the credit union. Property insurance is required until the sum owed is paid in full and the line is closed. If the property is located within the flood zone, flood insurance will be required. Interra Credit Union’s NMLS #623379. ⁵The line is subject to a $75 annual fee on its anniversary date.
