Loans

We believe that the “one on one” aspect is very important to the credit application process. Our loan officers are happy to meet with you in person at a convenient time for you. Contact us to set up an appointment.

You don’t need an appointment, but you may have to wait if you arrive on a busy day. If time is a concern for you, it doesn’t hurt to call ahead or schedule an appointment.

Can my payments to you be automatically deducted from my account?

Yes, just let us know that you would like to do this. If you sign up for automatic payments at loan closing, you’ll receive ¼% discount on the loan. (NOTE: This only applies to installment-based loans.)

Do your loans have prepayment penalties?

None of the loans from Richwood Bank have prepayment penalties.

What is the advantage of amortizing over a longer term?

If you amortize over a longer term, your required payment will be lower. You can always budget to pay more, and since there are no prepayment penalties, you will pay off your loan sooner and save on interest charges.

What are the advantages of having an automatic debit to my account for my loan payment?

You save ¼% on an installment loan plus the price of a check and the cost of mailing. You also have the convenience of knowing that even if you’re on vacation or the weather’s bad, your loan payment will automatically come out of your account on the correct date.

Online Banking
