With a loan, you borrow one lump sum all at once, and then pay it off in monthly installments until you’ve paid back all of the money you borrowed, plus the interest. 

With a line of credit, you can borrow what you need when you need it, up to your approved credit limit. You still make monthly payments, but they may differ each month depending on how much you’ve borrowed. And, you can borrow more later on, as long as you don’t go above your credit limit. This type of borrowing is called revolving credit.  

No, you don’t have to be a member to apply, but you do need to become a member if you want to take the line of credit. But don’t worry—it’s quick and easy to join Global.

When you apply for a line of credit, we ask if you’re already a Global member. If you’re not, just follow the instructions at the end of the application process to join.
