How long does it take to fund a real estate loan?

The timeline can vary depending on your specific loan situation:
  • Home Purchase:
    When you are purchasing a home, the Credit Union works directly with the escrow company to fund the loan on a pre-arranged closing date.
  • Refinance:
    For refinances, the funding process typically takes about 30 days.
