You can apply for an auto, recrational vehicle, line of credit and a signature loan by clicking here

You can apply for a home loan or a home equity line of credit by clicking here. 

To proceed with your loan application, please provide the following documents for each individual involved in the loan:

  • Driver's license and Social Security card
  • Pay stubs from the past month from your current employer
  • If applicable, the current award letter for any retirement, Social Security, or other fixed income
  • Tax returns and W-2 forms for the past 2 years
  • Bank statements for the past 2 months

1. Preapproval: Even before you start looking at homes, the first step in the mortgage process is getting a preapproval letter from a lender, which provides documentation of how much money you're eligible to borrow. 

2. Home Search: Once you have your preapproval letter, work with your real estate agent to find a home. 

3. Processing: Your Loan officer will then prepare and submit your mortgage application for final review and approval.  You may be asked to provide additional information.  During this time, your appraisal will be ordered for the home you're hoping to buy. 

4. Closing:  The last step in the mortgage process is closing.   This is where you assume ownership, your loan is funded and you get the keys to your new home.  

With a fixed-rate mortgage, your interest rate stays the same for the life of your loan.  With an adjustable rate, your loan begins with a fixed rate for a specified period of time and then adjusts higher or lower based on an index.  

An interest rate is the cost you pay annually to borrow money, expressed as a percentage of your total loan.  In contrast, APR includes the interest rate plus other costs, such as mortgage insurance, discount points and some closing costs and loan origination fees.  

Closing costs can vary depending on the lender but typically include appraisal fees, title insurance fees, attorney fees, prepaid interest, and documentation fees.  You will get estimated closing costs before you close the loan.  

No, you do not need to be a member to apply for a loan; however, you will have to join Ozark Federal Credit Union if you are approved.

A credit union stands apart from traditional banks as a cooperative endeavor. Unlike profit-driven institutions, its primary aim is to facilitate saving and lending among its members. Ownership of the credit union rests collectively with its members, who elect a board of directors to oversee its operations. These directors, who serve voluntarily, establish policies, determine interest rates on savings, and set the terms for loans. Consequently, the credit union operates with the sole intention of benefiting its members, providing them with a reliable platform for saving and borrowing without the pressure of generating profits for external entities.

The field of membership shall be limited to those having the following common bond:

Persons who live, work, worship, or attend school in, and businesses and other legal entities located in the rural district of Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Carter, Dent, Douglas, Dunklin, Howell, Iron, Madison, Mississippi, New Madrid, Oregon, Ozark, Pemiscot, Perry, Reynolds, Ripley, Scott, Shannon, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, Stoddard, Texas, or Wayne Counties, Missouri.

Spouses of persons who died while within the field of membership of this credit union; employees of this credit union; members of their immediate families or household; and organizations of such persons.

For questions or more information, speak to a Member Service Representative at 1-573-686-7221.

A $25 deposit is required to open a savings account. The $25 represents one share in the credit union.

No. Checking SavvyMoney Credit Score is a “soft inquiry”, which does not affect your credit score. Lenders use ‘hard inquiries’ to make decisions about your credit worthiness when you apply for loans.

SavvyMoney uses bank level encryption and security measures to keep your data safe and secure. Your personal information is never shared with or sold to a third party.

The SavvyMoney Credit Score makes its best effort to show you the most relevant information from your credit report. If you think that some of the information is wrong or inaccurate, we encourage you to take advantage of obtaining free credit reports from Annual Credit Report.com, and then pursuing action with each bureau individually. Each bureau has its own process for correcting inaccurate information but every user can “File a Dispute” by clicking on the “Dispute” link within their SavvyMoney Credit Report. However, The Federal Trade Commission website offers step-by-step instructions on how to contact the bureaus and correct errors.

SavvyMoney is a comprehensive Credit Score program offered by Ozark Federal Credit Union, that helps you stay on top of your credit. You get your latest credit score and report, an understanding of key factors that impact the score, and can see the most up-to-date offers that can help reduce your interest costs. With this program, you always know where you stand with your credit and how Ozark Federal Credit Union can help save you money.

Credit Score also monitors your credit report daily and informs you by email if there are any big changes detected such as: a new account being opened, a change in address or employment, a delinquency has been reported or an inquiry has been made. Monitoring helps users keep an eye out for identity theft.

SavvyMoney Credit Report provides you all the information you would find on your credit file including a list of open loans, accounts and credit inquiries. You will also be able to see details on your payment history, credit utilization and public records that show up on your account. When you check your credit report, there will be no impact to your score.

No. SavvyMoney is entirely free for Ozark Federal Credit Union members and no credit card information is required to register.

If you are a regular online banking user, your credit score will be updated every month and displayed in your online banking screen. You can click “refresh score” as frequently as every day by navigating to the detailed SavvyMoney site from within online banking.
