Q: What is the loan process? How long does it take to close?

A: Initially, we direct Pastors to our pre-application, our online Loan Evaluator, to begin the process. Our credit analyst will then contact you in 7-10 business days for any needed additional information and to move the process along. Financial statements will be submitted, after the prequalification is completed and approved, the loan goes before our Board of Directors for final approval. The loan is then set for closing and final documents are signed. The whole process takes around 75 days.
