THE SMALL PRINT

How to read this list.

No agenda

We do not ask for your name, your email, or your number. Nothing on this page changes based on who you are.

Based here vs. serves here

A door is headquartered here when its head office sits inside the county line. The rest are based elsewhere and keep a branch you can walk into. We list both, and we label which is which.

Where this comes from

Every institution on this page comes from public federal data — the CDFI Fund certified list (Aug 2026), NCUA credit union data (Jun 2026), and the SBA microloan intermediary list (Sep 2026) — plus a short national tier we verified by hand. We refresh each list as its agency publishes. No listing is paid.

CREDIT UNIONDupont Community Credit Union

Based in Waynesboro, Virginia. A credit union — owned by its members rather than by shareholders, which is exactly what changes the conversation after a bank has said no.

BEST FORA personal loan, or building a credit file from nothing, and buying, repairing or refinancing a home.
CREDIT UNIONValleystar Credit Union

Based in Martinsville, Virginia. A member-owned credit union, which means the people deciding on your file answer to depositors in the same towns you work in.

BEST FORBuying, repairing or refinancing a home, and working capital, equipment and payroll for a small business.
CDFICDFI-certified · SBA lenderShenandoah Community Capital Fund, Inc.

Based in Staunton, Virginia. A CDFI — a mission lender, not a branch network. It is measured on who it reaches, which is why a thin file is not the end of the conversation. It lends SBA microloan money.

BEST FORCommunity lending where a bank has already said no, and working capital, equipment and payroll for a small business.
RIGHT HEREVirginia, and the rules that apply in Augusta County.
3 DOORS ABOVE

Everything below is set by Virginia, and it reads the same in every county in it. The 3 marks above are this county's own doors — who opens one is decided by them, not by the state.

The rules where you are.

None of this is set by a lender. Virginia sets it, and it applies the same in every county in the state — which is why it is worth knowing before you knock on any of the doors above.

  • PROPERTY TAX0.75% effective

    What Virginia charges every year on what the house is worth. No lender sets it and it does not go away when the loan does — it is part of the payment from day one.

  • MEDIAN HOME, STATEWIDE$386K

    The number an appraisal gets read against. A house well under it is often the loan a big bank does not want — which is exactly what the doors above are for.

  • STATE INCOME TAX2.0% – 5.75%

    It comes off before a lender works out how much of your income can go to a payment.

  • COST OF LIVING101.1

    National index, where 100 is the country's average. Under 100 means your money goes further here than it does nationally.
