RateAPI ranks the closest NCUA-reported branch for each credit union using estimated straight-line miles from the center of your ZIP area. Open any result to compare current rates, services, and published membership requirements. RateAPI tracks rates for mortgages, auto loans, HELOCs, personal loans, credit cards, savings & CDs, and equipment loans from over 3,718 credit unions across all 50 US states and territories. Our database covers everything from large national credit unions like Navy Federal to small community-based institutions. We verify and update credit union rates daily. Our automated scrapers check each credit union's official website to capture the latest published rates. The "verified" badge indicates rates confirmed within the last 7 days. Yes, all credit union rate data is available through our REST API. You can query rates by state, credit union, or product type (mortgage, auto loan, HELOC, personal loan, credit card). Visit api.rateapi.dev for documentation and to get your API key. Credit unions often offer lower rates than banks on mortgages, auto loans, and other products because they're member-owned nonprofits. However, their rates are scattered across thousands of individual websites, making comparison difficult. RateAPI aggregates this data to help borrowers find the best rates. Yes, every rate we display is verified directly from the credit union's official website. We don't rely on third-party data or manual submissions. Each credit union page shows when rates were last verified and includes a direct link to the source. Select your state from the grid above to see every tracked credit union ranked with its current rates. Each state page lets you compare mortgage, auto loan, HELOC, personal loan, and credit card rates side by side. Yes, credit unions only lend to members, but most have easy eligibility paths such as living in a region, working for a partner employer, or joining an affiliated association. The rates shown here are the published member rates from each credit union's official site. Every credit union page now includes a "Who Can Join" section that shows the field of membership - who is eligible and how to become a member. Each eligibility claim is backed by a verbatim quote pulled from the credit union's own membership page, with a link to that source, plus the cost to join (membership fee and any minimum share deposit) when we can verify it. We annotate rather than exclude: where eligibility can't be confirmed we label it as unknown instead of guessing. This is published membership information, not financial advice - the final determination is always made by the institution. See our eligibility methodology for how the data is collected and verified. Yes. The /credit-unions/{state}/{slug} profile endpoint returns an eligibility object alongside rates, the get_credit_union MCP tool returns the same field-of-membership record for AI agents, and the dedicated membership eligibility API can verdict up to 50 credit unions against a user profile in one call. Every response links the credit union's own membership page as evidence. How do I find credit unions near me? How many credit unions does RateAPI track? How often are rates updated?
