What are the hours of operation?

The branch typically operates during standard banking hours, from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. It's best to call ahead for specific hours or to schedule an appointment.

There may be fees associated with certain banking services or loan applications, including application fees and closing costs. These vary depending on the specific product and service used.

Who is this open to — anyone, or only residents/members?

This institution primarily serves members of the credit union, which includes residents of certain regions and small business owners within their service area.

What minimum personal credit score does this lender look for in a guarantor?

A minimum personal credit score of around 650 is generally preferred, but approval depends on the overall financial profile and business viability.

How long does the traditional underwriting process take from start to close?

The underwriting process typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the loan and completeness of application documentation.

Is this open on weekends?

Most credit unions keep weekday business hours and are closed on weekends, and Technology Credit Union typically follows the same pattern. SBA lending staff are generally reachable Monday through Friday. A few locations offer Saturday or by-appointment hours, so call Technology Credit Union to confirm current weekend availability before you go.

For exact directions, the entrance, and accessible parking, use the listed address or call ahead and staff can point you to visitor spaces.

Who owns or operates this listing?

This page is an independent directory listing for Technology Credit Union, an SBA-participating credit union. It is maintained by SBA Lenders USA to help borrowers compare lenders — not by Technology Credit Union itself, which runs its own lending under its own ownership. If you work at Technology Credit Union, you can claim this listing from this page to manage it.

How current is the information on this page?

The core details for Technology Credit Union — name, location, contact, and lender type — are compiled from public records and reviewed periodically. Rates, programs, credit policies, and hours change often and are not guaranteed here, so always confirm the latest terms directly with Technology Credit Union before applying. If you represent Technology Credit Union, claim this listing to keep its information up to date.

How do I contact this listing directly?

You can reach Technology Credit Union by phone at (800) 553-0880 or online at techcu.com — the details are in the contact card on this page. For SBA loans specifically, ask for their business lending or SBA department. Treat this directory page as a starting point and confirm hours and contact details with Technology Credit Union before relying on them.

What core industries does this lender traditionally choose to finance?

Based on its approved SBA loans, Technology Credit Union most often finances businesses in general retail, restaurants & food service, automotive repair & services, dental practices, and hotels & lodging. This reflects Technology Credit Union's real SBA 7(a) and 504 lending history rather than a stated policy — it can still consider other industries and sets its own current preferences, so confirm with Technology Credit Union which sectors it actively lends to before you apply.

Can I apply for an SBA Express line of credit at this lender?

SBA Express offers lines of credit and term loans up to $500,000 with a faster turnaround than standard 7(a) loans. Whether Technology Credit Union participates in SBA Express depends on its specific SBA lending authority. Contact Technology Credit Union and ask if it offers SBA Express and what the current limits and terms look like for your situation.

Does this lender have Preferred Lender Provider status with the government?

SBA Preferred Lender Program (PLP) status lets a lender approve loans in-house without sending each one to the SBA first, which usually means faster decisions. Many established credit unions hold PLP status, but it varies by institution. Technology Credit Union can confirm its current PLP standing — ask before you apply if speed matters to you.

Are start-up companies eligible for financing at this lender?

The SBA does fund start-ups, but many traditional lenders prefer at least two years of operating history and may ask newer ventures for a larger equity injection or stronger collateral. Technology Credit Union's appetite for start-ups is set by its own credit policy. If you are early-stage or pre-revenue, ask Technology Credit Union directly whether it considers start-up loans.

What are the typical down payment expectations for commercial real estate acquisitions?

For SBA 7(a) and 504 commercial real estate loans, borrowers typically contribute around 10% to 20% as a down payment or equity injection, depending on the property and the deal. Exact requirements vary with your credit, the business, and the lender's policy. Ask Technology Credit Union what down payment it expects for your specific commercial real estate purchase.

Does this lender impose prepayment penalties on short-term working capital facilities?

SBA 7(a) loans with terms under 15 years generally carry no prepayment penalty, while longer real estate loans can have one in the early years. Short-term working capital lines often have no penalty, but terms vary by lender. Review your loan agreement and ask Technology Credit Union to spell out any prepayment penalties before you sign.

Can I use loan proceeds from this lender to buy out an existing equity partner?

SBA loans can be used for a partner or owner buyout, including buying out an existing equity partner, when the deal is structured to meet SBA rules — for example, the remaining owner generally must stay actively involved. Approval depends on the specifics, so discuss your buyout plan with Technology Credit Union to confirm it qualifies and how to document it.

Will historical personal bankruptcies automatically disqualify my loan application here?

A past personal bankruptcy does not automatically disqualify you from an SBA loan. Lenders look at how long ago it was discharged, the circumstances, and how your credit has recovered since. Technology Credit Union weighs this case by case under its own policy, so be upfront about your history and ask Technology Credit Union how it evaluates prior bankruptcies.
