If I apply online, what will happen next?

A Loan Expert will contact you to complete the loan application process within 24 hours on a day the credit union is opened (exceptions on loan applications submitted after 3pm EST). If you apply on a day we are closed, you will be contacted the following business day.

How does the loan process work after I'm approved?

Your Loan Expert will forward your loan paperwork to our Loan Processing Team.

Your Loan Processor will contact you to either schedule your closing or let you know of any additional documentation we need from you prior to scheduling a loan closing. You can email or fax any documents into the Loan Processing Department. If those options don't work for you, you can drop your documents off at any PAFCU branch and they will make sure to get them into the Loan Processing Department.
