Consumer Loans: We Have a Loan Option for Your Lifestyle

Contents
Consumer loans play an important role in helping our customers manage financial needs, whether for purchasing or refinancing a car, consolidating debt, or covering unexpected expenses. Understanding how these loans work and the different types available can help you make informed borrowing decisions.
What Are Consumer Loans?
A consumer loan is a type of loan for personal use, rather than for business or commercial purposes. These loans can be secured or unsecured and are typically repaid in fixed installments over a specified period.
Types of Consumer Loans
Unsecured Loans
Unsecured loans are personal loans that don’t require collateral but are primarily based on your personal creditworthiness, which includes your credit score, income and financial health.
- Personal Loans: Use a personal loan for various purposes such as paying off expensive medical bills, renovating your home, or debt consolidation. Crews Bank & Trust will offer a competitive rate and more importantly, unparalleled personal service.
Secured Loans
Secured loans are purpose-specific loans designed specifically for purchasing new or used autos, boats and recreational vehicles (RVs). In this case, the car, boat or RV serves as collateral. Loan terms vary based on credit-score, loan term and the age/value of the vehicle you are financing. These loans often require a down payment, usually between 10-20%. Types of secured loans available to you at Crews Bank & Trust are:
- Auto Loans: Purchase your dream car or replace your current car loan with an affordable rate – both are possible through the auto loans we offer.
- Boat Loans: We know a thing or two about fishing in Florida. Whether you're departing from Charlotte Harbor or Sarasota for the deep sea, enjoying local lakes in Winter Haven or Lake Placid or simply trolling the Peace River, we can help you get the boat you want.
- Recreational Vehicle Loans: Enjoy Florida’s great weather with a motorcycle or motorhome that lets you make the most of being outdoors. We offer affordable consumer loans for both so that you can cruise cross-country or take short trips to nearby getaways.
