UC Emergency Loan Program

The UC Emergency Loan Program (Employee Emergency Loan Fund Policy, E-526-48), that FSAP used to manage, ended in 2013. In lieu of offering this program internally, the University has contracted with two external credit unions who will provide a similar program to UC employees. The two credit unions are University Credit Union and USE Credit Union. Both suppliers have UC-negotiated interest rates, are in complete compliance with the Truth in Lending requirements, and will provide online application tools for employees to directly apply for emergency loans.

Any UC employee seeking an emergency loan may contact these two external suppliers:
