A Guaranteed Rate HELOC is secured with your home as collateral, whereas personal loans and credit cards are not. To check the rates and terms you qualify for, we will conduct a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. However, if you continue and submit an application, we will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit pull and may affect your credit. Approval may be granted in five minutes but is ultimately subject to verification of income and employment, as well as verification that your property is in at least average condition with a property condition report. Five business day funding timeline assumes closing the loan with our remote online notary. Funding timelines may be longer for loans secured by properties located in counties that do not permit recording of e-signatures or that otherwise require an in-person closing. Guaranteed Rate Home Equity Line is an open-end product where the full loan amount (minus lender, broker, third party, and governement fees, as applicable) will be 100% drawn at the time of origination. The initial amount funded at origination will be based on a fixed rate; however, this product contains an additional draw feature. As the borrower repays the balance on the line, the borrower may make additional draws during the draw period. If the borrower elects to make an additional draw, the interest rate for that draw will be set as of the date of the draw and will be based on an Index, which is the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal for the calendar month preceding the date of the additional draw, plus a fixed margin. Accordingly, the fixed rate for any additional draw may be higher than the fixed rate for the initial draw. Apply in 5 minutes, get your money in as fast as 5 days. Digital application experience. Funds directly to your bank account. No in-person appraisal needed.

Financial Details

Direct Ratio Analysis

The following ratios and data are available to help you better understand the financial condition of Direct. The data is provided by the NCUA. All credit unions on BestCashCow, except those specified as not NCUA-insured in the overview section above, are NCUA-insured. Depositors should be careful to remain within NCUA insurance limits.

Texas Ratio

Direct	U.S. Average
4.23%	5.83

The Texas Ratio compares the amount of loans at risk and assets repossessed with the amount a credit union has on hand to cover any losses. The closer the Texas Ratio is to 1-to-1 or 100%, the less capital and reserves a credit union has to absorb its loan losses.

As of June 30, 2024, Direct had $3,839,766 in non-current loans and $340,149 in owned assets. To cover these potential losses it had $95,004,506 in net worth and $3,905,115 in loans loss reserves. That gives it a Texas Ratio of 4.23%.

Net Worth

Direct	U.S. Average
11.51%	13.93%

Direct FCU has a net worth of 11.51% versus the BestCashCow average of 13.93. Net worth measures how much total assets exceed total liabilities. The higher the net worth number the more secure a credit union is considered.
