The CDFIs, credit unions, and microlenders that actually say yes — county by county, in two languages. We are not a lender. Nobody paid to be listed. And where a county has no good doors, we say so.

How to read this list.
We do not ask for your name, your email, or your number. Nothing on this page changes based on who you are.
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.
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.
This guide helps Lane County residents — including solo contractors, small investors, and Spanish-speaking community members — understand personal financing options available locally. It highlights credit unions, CDFIs, and ITIN-friendly lenders that actually serve Eugene, Springfield, and the broader Lane County area. Federal programs are useful context, but local intermediaries are your strongest starting point. Take your time, compare options, and never feel pressured to sign anything quickly.

Based in Albany, Oregon. A credit union — owned by its members rather than by shareholders, which is exactly what changes the conversation after a bank has said no. It is CDFI-certified.

BEST FORBuying, repairing or refinancing a home, and working capital, equipment and payroll for a small business.Based in Eugene, Oregon. A credit union: no shareholders to satisfy, and a habit of reading a whole story rather than a single score.

BEST FORBuying, repairing or refinancing a home, and a personal loan, or building a credit file from nothing.Everything below is set by Oregon, and it reads the same in every county in it. The 10 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. Oregon 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.
- STATE INCOME TAX4.75% – 9.9%
What the state takes off what you earn, before anyone works out what payment you can carry.
- SALES TAXNone
What you pay on top of every purchase. On a small loan for a repair or a tool, this is a real part of the total.
- MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME$77K
Half the households in the state earn less than this. A lot of the programs above use that number to decide who qualifies.
- COST OF LIVING114.1
National index, where 100 is the country's average. Under 100 means your money goes further here.

2 of them are certified by the U.S. Treasury as CDFIs. Lending where a bank will not is their mandate, not a favour.
