Ways We Can Help

Construction & Renovation

Is your campus feeling a little cramped these days? Or maybe you have an aging facility that is struggling to keep up with your school’s mission. It might be time to consider some construction or renovation!

Purchase

Are you on the hunt for a new building to replace or expand your existing footprint? Let ACCU’s experienced commercial lending team guide you through the process of securing financing to make that new space yours.

Refinance

Not sure your current loan is giving you the best terms? Speak with a lending specialist to see if a refinance could improve your school’s financial condition and give you increased capacity to flourish.

Operate

Is a 10-month tuition payment plan or quarterly state voucher disbursements disrupting your cash flow? An operating line of credit could be the answer to finding stability and peace of mind.

  • Reprice: A change in the interest rate at certain points during the loan’s terms.
  • Fixed rate: An agreed upon interest rate that won’t change for the term of the loan.
  • Down payment: It is the initial payment made, sometimes required of a loan deal, that represents a percentage of the full loan amount.
