We are pleased to announce that we have expanded our mortgage loan program to now include FHA (Federal Housing Administration) mortgage loans and refinances.
With FHA mortgage loans, the minimum amount for a down payment on a home is only 3.5%.
Compare that to the 10% down payment required for traditional mortgage loans and you'll agree that a FHA mortgage could be the key to finally owning your own home. For example, if you find a home for $200,000, the down payment could be as little as $7,000 with a FHA home loan.
What are FHA loans?
The FHA loan program is designed to promote homeownership. FHA loans are mortgages that are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, an agency of the federal government. The FHA is not a lender – rather, it insures loans against default, protecting approved lenders like Qside so we can offer a better deal with greater flexibility than conventional home loans.
What are the advantages of an FHA loan?
Advantages include: much lower down payments than conventional mortgages, allowing homebuyers to purchase a home sooner; down payments can be funded from gifted money (other loan programs don't allow this); FHA loan rates are typically lower than conventional mortgages; it's easier to qualify for an FHA loan than a conventional mortgage.
Visit the Qside FCU Mortgage Loan Center for custom rates, easy pre-qualification and expert advice to guide you through the home loan process. Choosing your credit union is the first step toward an affordable home loan.

Opt-In For Overdraft Privileges
Due to last year's new overdraft protection regulations, you must now “opt-in” to receive overdraft protection (also knows as Qside's “Courtesy Pay”), which covers your ATM and everyday debit card transactions when you don't have enough money in your account. Click here for information on Qside's Courtesy Pay / overdraft protection service.
Why Opt-In?
If you do not opt-in, your ATM and debit card transactions will be declined if you attempt to make a transaction or withdrawal without sufficient funds. If you do opt-in, you will receive our overdraft services if you make a transaction or withdrawal without sufficient funds. You may opt-out at anytime at no cost.
For Existing Accounts: For accounts opened on or before June 30, 2010, if you do not opt-in, your ATM and debit card transactions will no longer be protected under Qside Federal Credit Union’s overdraft protection. If you do opt-in, you will continue to receive your overdraft services with no changes.
For New Accounts: If you opened a new account on or after July 1, 2010, your ATM and debit card transactions will not be protected under Qside Federal Credit Union’s overdraft protection unless you opt-in.
Opt-In!
To opt-in and keep your overdraft protection, simply complete this form and return to us via mail, fax or in person.
*Please note that this opt-in rule applies only to ATM and debit card transactions and does not pertain to overdraft protection services associated with written checks or recurring debit transactions, such as regularly scheduled bill payments.
