NBTA Credit Union Program:
Low-interest loans support greener homes
NBTA Credit Union is a full-service credit union based in Fredericton that serves members in person in Fredericton and remotely throughout New Brunswick.
In the summer of 2015, the NBTACU board and staff asked themselves what they can do to help the environment. A decision was made to offer better loan rates for individuals interested in improving their homes’ efficiency or converting to renewable energy like solar. From this idea, the Greener Home Loans program was introduced. The program gives qualifying applicants rates as low as prime plus 1% to make their homes more environmentally friendly.
Member Owned
Started in 1971 by a group of education workers, NBTA Credit Union is open to the general public. As a member-owned financial institution, it is known for offering excellent rates on loans and savings, giving “member-first” financial advice, and providing excellent member service.
