Low-cost access to funds as little as $100 when you need it
A Kwik Cash Line of Credit is a revolving line of credit, meaning that you can draw funds from it as long as it remains open.
Many people use it as a temporary source of emergency cash since it’s a more affordable alternative to payday loans and title loans.
You can also use your Kwik Cash for Overdraft Protection to cover your checking account if you overdraw. If you have available Kwik Cash funds, they will automatically transfer to your checking account in $100 increments to bring your balance above $0. A Kwik Cash Line of Credit makes overdraft protection much less expensive than overdraft charges.

Why choose FCCU over a payday lender?
A payday loan is a high cost loan, generally for $500 or less, that is typically due on your next payday (CFPB, 2024).
Payday lenders often operate from convenient storefronts, whose lobbies mimic the look and feel of a fast-food restaurant, touting low to no credit requirements and quick payouts.
Many states have outlawed payday lending, as it is widely considered to be predatory. However, payday lending remains legal in Wisconsin, with some loans reaching up to 574% Annual Percentage Rate (yes, you read that right) according to USStatesLoans.org.
Historically, credit unions like FCCU have been a great alternative to payday lenders, offering small dollar loans at reasonable rates with relatively quick payouts for members with low to no credit— All the benefits of a payday loan with the backing of a trusted loan team who want to put you in a better financial position than when they met you.

Your monthly payment is calculated based on the amount you’ve spent plus the remaining balance from previous months (AKA outstanding balance). Interest is accrued on the outstanding balance. You can pay the balance in full, instead of just the minimum payment due, to avoid interest entirely. See our fee schedule and your loan paperwork for any fees, like late fees, that could occur. |
You will make fixed, equal monthly payments based on the duration of the loan. Interest accrues at a rate based on your credit score and the term of the loan. You pay interest and principal with each contracted monthly payment (pre-payment is allowed). See your loan paperwork for any fees, like late fees, that could occur. |
