Loan Application and Servicing Process

 

Penn East Federal Credit Union is an online financial service provider that facilitates certain credit decisions for members based on their past credit history and current financial performance. We understand that you expect privacy, confidentiality and security for your financial transactions. We collect and use information about you only when we reasonably expect it is necessary to complete and process your loan application. We ask for information such as contact information (like name, address, phone number, etc.), unique identifiers (like social security number and date of birth) and financial information (like income amount) for specific business purposes in evaluating your loan request.

We request and use information obtained from national consumer credit reporting companies to further evaluate your loan application. At this time, we use information obtained from Equifax, TransUnion and Experian.

We provide training to our employees, which stress the importance of maintaining confidentiality of accounts. We maintain certain security standards to deter unauthorized access to confidential information about you. The integrity of our information is tested on a routine basis to validate and improve the protection we offer.

At times, it may be necessary that we share information about you with a party outside the Penn East Federal Credit Union or affiliated entities, such as a vendor that we hire for support services. These vendors agree to safeguard any confidential information obtained and must abide by applicable law.

We do not disclose specific information about your accounts to parties outside our credit union and affiliated entities for their independent use unless:

You ask that we provide information or authorize its release.

The information is necessary so we may complete a transaction you initiated.

The disclosure is required or permitted by law.

The information is provided to an established national credit-reporting agency.
