HELPFUL INFORMATION ABOUT BORROWING FROM WOMEN’S SOUTHWEST:

1. Pay less each month—and receive a lower loan rate.  Offer savings

—or a motor vehicle—as collateral for your loan.

2. Minimum amount for all loans = $500. 

3. Great service:  borrowing $ to consolidate debts?  We’ll send the checks 

to your credit card companies for you!  

4. Rates available to members are “risk-based.”  The rate our Credit 

Committee initially approves for you will depend on such factors as 

the collateral (if any) you offer to back the loan, your credit score, & 

ratios of your debts to your income at the time you apply.  If your 

application is approved, the rate you pay will be the rate that is in 

effect for your “Grade” on the date that your loan is funded.  Rates 

listed below reflect the lowest to highest rates within all grades 

that we offered as of the effective date above.  Rates, terms, and 

conditions are subject to change without advance notice.  

5. Title Transfer Processing Time Fee. If a dealer won’t handle 

the  title transfer on the car,  motor home, or motorcycle you offer 

as collateral for your loan, you will pay a fee for the extra time it 

takes our staff to process the paperwork:  for motor vehicles 

already-registered and license in California & Texas, $25; for

vehicles license & registered in for your :  in Calif.: $25+cost, 

in other states & DC 99+cost.
