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 an external credit union who will provide a similar program to UC employees. The credit union is University Credit Union. This supplier has a UC-negotiated interest rate, is 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 this external supplier:
