Co-Maker Loans

The USPS Co-Maker Loan from Nova CU is a great loan for active Postal members who need a little extra cash, who are just beginning their credit history, or who are trying to fix any credit problems that they may have had in the past.

The Co-Maker loan is signed by up to 20 active USPS employees who are also members of Nova CU and who are "co-makers" for $1000 each.1 With a maximum amount of $20,000 and a maximum term of 60 months, the co-maker loan is an excellent way to consolidate high interest credit cards or pay-off old school loans.
