At Baptist Credit Union, we strive to help any qualified member reach their financial and education goals. That’s why we constantly review and update the products we offer to our members, that we feel can meet and exceed their needs and expectations. In light of this mission, we are proud to offer the Baptist Credit Union Private Student Loan by HESC – a low-cost private student loan for Texas residents.
Our Student Loans are made to a student and may or may not require an eligible cosigner depending on the creditworthiness of the student. Applicants with limited or no credit history may be considered eligible with a creditworthy cosigner. Applying with a cosigner may help the applicant pass the credit review, and may even help secure a lower rate.

- Home Equity Loans
Baptist Credit Union offers competitive Home Equity loans that allow you to borrow against the equity of your house. For over 50 years, Baptist Credit Union has been a resource for interest-wise loans designed to benefit the home owner. As a state chartered credit union our Home Equity Loans are exclusively for realty within Texas and are governed by state laws pertaining to home equity loans.
Summary of Applicable Texas Law:
- Texas Home Equity loans are limited to 80% of the appraised value of the house, less any existing loans against the house (mortgage and/or home improvement).
- Texas has a 12 day cooling off period. From the day you apply and proper disclosures are issued, the note may not be signed until 12 days later.
- From signing, the borrower has three business days to change their mind.
- When Home Equity is used for loan security, the homestead is then subject to foreclosure in cases of default. So, borrow with purpose.
- The law allows for only ONE Home Equity Loan per year. Even if it’s paid off, one a year is the limit. That’s another reason to carefully consider whether it’s the right loan for you at this time.
