Applying is Fast and Easy

You can apply for Northwest Cash via online banking or inside your mobile app. If you’re approved for the loan, you own it—no need to get additional signatures or cosigners. Note that only primary account holders with regular share accounts are eligible to apply for these loans.

You’ll find out immediately what you qualify for. Decisions are based on your history with Northwest Community Credit Union, which means that your other credit history won’t affect whether you get a loan or not.

If you’re approved for a loan, you’ll see the money (minus a small origination fee) deposited to your account immediately the same day!

This loan is an easy, fast way to get the cash you need without huge payday loan rates or fees.
