Statement of Military Annual Percentage Rate

“Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of consumer credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed 36 percent. This rate must include, as applicable to the credit transaction or account: The costs associated with credit insurance premiums; fees for ancillary products sold in connection with the credit transaction; any application fee charged (other than certain application fees for specified credit transactions or accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain participation fees for a credit card account).”

Access to Internet websites from open or unsecured WiFi (wireless) networks such as those found in Internet cafes, public places and airports are at a higher risk of being compromised by the criminal element. Therefore, Smart Financial Credit Union recommends that you apply from a secured network, e.g. your home, rather than from open/shared WiFi networks. While home networks are still vulnerable to a degree, they are at less risk than using a public network. Smart Financial utilizes many security measures to assure that your information is secure. However, we advise that you take these extra precautions to provide an additional layer of security.
