Interra Credit Union June 2018 Newsletter
Interra to Open Plymouth Office
Interra Credit Union will open a new Financial Resource Center (FRC) in Plymouth this summer, Andy Marshall, EVP/Chief Operating Officer, announced. Renovations are underway at the new center, located at 1629 N. Michigan Street, across from Centennial Park.
“The FRC will be Interra’s seventeenth office, but different than a traditional branch,” Marshall said. “It will leverage our strengths and experience in small business, agribusiness and mortgage lending.”
“While it is a no-cash office, the FRC will be staffed with a manager, business lender and a mortgage loan originator,” he noted. “They will be available to assist members open new accounts, both business and consumer.”
“Access and ease of electronic services will be key features at the center,” reports Phil Wiens, SVP/Chief Retail Officer. “We are looking forward to serving members and being a part of it all in the Plymouth area.”
Members can join Interra online, open additional accounts, use Interra Online Banking for all types of account information and transactions, and download the mobile app, which includes mobile deposit. At the same time, new and existing members in the Plymouth area will have access to the support of an experienced staff when they want and need it.
“We are excited to become a part of the Plymouth area community,” Marshall said. “At Interra, we believe it’s important to be supportive of and involved in the communities in which we do business.”

FHA and USDA Home Loans Now Available at Interra
Two mortgage loan programs, especially attractive for first-time homebuyers, are now available at Interra Credit Union. “I am pleased to announce to our members that we now offer both FHA and USDA financing options,” reports Rob Spencer, AVP/Senior Manager of mortgage operations.1
Borrowers may qualify for an FHA loan with a down payment as low as 3.5% and less-than-perfect credit. The program offers terms up to 30 years.
Zero down payment financing is available with loans guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This 30-year loan must be used for the purchase of the borrower’s primary residence only. And, there are property location and maximum household income restrictions.
“With our members’ best interests in mind, mortgage loan originators will work with borrowers to match each situation with the best option, including the full range of mortgage programs we offer at Interra,” Spencer said.
At the credit union, members will benefit from free pre-qualifications, in-house local processing, underwriting and closing. Once approved, a loan can be closed in as little as 45 days.2 And, Interra offers in-house servicing, which means borrowers can make their payments online or at any office.3
